Should African tribes/ethnic groups who sold blacks to the Arabs/Europeans be held accountable?

I knew that was a lie when he wrote it. I am also pretty sure that Lagos has a lot more homicides than some 330 something per year.


Im lying? Lol the same article you quoted in your post states that the figure of 1000 is over a 4 month period in Nigeria as a whole. You didn't even read what you posted?




Do you have anything to dispute lagos' homicide statistics? Are you still going to argue that it's more dangerous than a city half it's population size with double the homicides?

Not unless they're still involved in slavery.

Obviously selling us didn't profit them shyt so what are they going to pay and who's going to hold them accountable? The same white man who profited from enslaving and mass murdering us?

Makes no sense

Slavery was the norm pretty much everywhere on earth. You need to realize that for most of history, the winning/dominant tribe would enslave the weaker/defeated tribe. Europeans were enslaving, castrating and selling other Europeans in slave markets in France, Italy and elsewhere. They would even sell their fellow Europeans to their Ottoman, Arab and Persian enemies.

There was no such thing as a "white race" or a "black race" back then. It was all about ethnic/tribal identities. A person from a different/enemy tribe was seen as foreign despite that person's skin color.

Point is, you can't apply our modern understanding of race to a society that did not have the same understanding.

There are many different factors that led to that. We were just recently discussing that in one of the other threads. The one about why black people were enslaved.

Please stop trying to educate these guys on basic world history. It doesn't suit their agenda

Considering that most black slaves who were sold to the slave markets in the Americas and the Arab world were captured and sold by other Africans, should we start holding these ethnic groups accountable like we do whites? Should these people be made to apologise and acknowledge the crimes of their forefathers.

They were FORCED and are VICTIMS as well
