When you were colonised, did they use force on you or peace?

Lol, you think the whites would tell you they brainwashed and used force in some cases to make sure our people sold slaves to them?

In fact, this is how it happened. At first they used force to capture slaves, when it became harder for them, they brainwashed our people to do it for them.

These people haven't changed, the same way they sanction countries who don't agree to gay rights and force them to agree today. They make evil look good in your eyes. At the end of the day slavery became a great business that wasn't seen as a sin.

This is why you are advised to stop learning African history from these white people. If you really think Africans treated their servants the same way black slaves were treated in the Americas and Europe, then you must be in dreamland.

Ask yourself why many African leaders were sent into exile and many committed suicide as well. Lol, these leaders resisted these people.

In a nutshell, it was common for slaves to be sold to other Africans in those days. Our understanding of slavery was very different from our slave master's understanding. We didn't know our people would be treated like animals and secondly we were forced and brainwashed to do it and later it became normal for us.

According to this article, you're leaving out the real bad actors: Muslim slave traders. https://brutalist.press/posts/3252/islamic-trade-in-european-slaves

You really have a whole lot of time arguing with a man who is trying to justify slavery bro. Anytime I hear people compare African slavery (Servants) with what the whites did to blacks, I just laugh. Only white people try to justify the transatlantic slavery with that nonsense.

Please save your energy, this thread isn't worth it at all. That guy is probably a white supremacist.

How did the slave traders obtain the slaves? Weren't they sold people who had already been captured by other Africans?

realy...it realy doesnt matter now..does it..?....skin color doesnt determin wheather you are better in something or not...


Color also doesn't determine whether you're a slave owner. Black Africans have owned slaves. Black Americans owned slaves.

Regarding economic ability, I would just recommend that competence be found. If there are black-run corporations that do what you need done, or white or anything else, find someone who can do the job, and be willing to make it worth their while. I don't have to make assertions about race. It's not my economy.

its very strange to think skin color matters when it comes to money...its either you have it or you dont...

the op is forgeting that the whites conquered and enslaved other races for centuries....the chinese,east indians,africans,native americans were killed and their resources stolen for centuries...the whealth that the whites still enjoy till today...

if you know history,you wouldnt admire whites atal atal....

OK take your chances. It's not the money at first. It's knowing how to do the work to get the wealth. Mining, engineering, chemistry, etc.
Unity is not the whole story.

The history I saw says Muslims did more enslaving than anyone, and some of the slaves were whites. Native Americans were pushed out by conquest of land and never enslaved, but sometimes the Native Americans owned black slaves.

Consider the example of Venezuela. Their communist government over the past 10 or 20 years has driven out the major oil drilling companies, saying they took too much profit. But the Venezuelans cannot operate that business themselves. Instead of sharing profit with the oil majors, they end up with a collapsed economy. Their country is now being destroyed by the problems.

There are other examples, including in Africa, all ending with the same conclusion.

You may not want white people to have authority. But the choice may be the similar, if you want them to be willing to contribute what they do well.
