gotdam for such a small country them portuguese was movin em. they'll all get theirs one day tho

How about the Africans that fukked over our ancestors? When the fukk do they get theirs? Because without those treacherous nikkas there would not have been a slave trade. The only justice is that those nikkas descendants were enslaved too; and the beauty of it was that they were enslaved in their own lands. The only thing thar sucked was that Africans not involved in the trade were enslaved too.

It's interesting Nigeria and Benin were called the Slave Coast, and Nigerians are the most group of West Africans when it comes to how they treat American Blacks and other Africans, and typically AAs get their stereotypes of Africans not liking AAs from interactions with Nigerians.

THis is why i laugh when some black americans talk as if they had it worse than anyone else.

In North America, a slave was an investment. It was an asset. It was well fed and insured in some cases (AETNA) because the people that owned slaves in North America weren't all that rich. So they couldn't afford to just kill a slave just for kicks like that because they were expensive to replace.

Fresh slaves were coming off slave ships in the Caribbean on a monthly basis.

There were other factors at play in the USA regarding why there were less slaves; the main one being a shorter growing season, which didn't require larger plantations. That is the reason slavery ended first in the Northern States of America. Small farms in the North had limited growing season so the farmers there and their families didn't need slaves as much. In places like North Carolina and Tennessee there was opposition to slavery by small farmers in the mountains, because they couldn't compete economically with the larger plantations in the Delta and Piedmont areas due to limited planting seasons and poorer soil. That is why those two States were the last to leave the Union and the first two Southern States to rejoin after the Civil war ended.

The major plantation States in the USA were in Virginia and in the deep South, because the growing season was longer, which could support larger plantations and therefore more slaves.

In fairness though none of the other African ethnic group like the Nigerians either.

It's funny.

I was going out with this Ugandan chick and i told her i made some new african friends and began to hang out with them. Her response to my text was "cool! Africans are the sh!t." Then her next text was " But if you start spending time with Nigerians we are done!"

Why is that?

 

[How Sway?]

Why is that?

a lot of them are stereotyped as being crude, arrogant, unreasonably loud , pushy, cutthroat, and money hungry. A trait that rubs people wrong

I'll admit there is a degree of truth to this stereotype but most nigerians I've met are cool as hell and some serious go getters.

Most of my Friends(well most of my African homies) at the first school I went to were Nigerian(and kenyan) now that i think about it.

I'd say Nigerians probably inter mingle with AA's the most though .

not only b/c there's more of them but there's less cultural, religious, and to some extent language barriers between Naijas and AA's than other African groups.

Then again most Ghanaians who are also heavily christian and speak english usually just stick to themselves though....

When you look at the lingering social, political, and mental effect, The Atlantic Slave Trade might be the worst thing to ever happen in human history.

All the bloodshed, lost life, lost time, and the fact that racism is still taking lives today.

If I'm correct it's the only instance of a continent having its population deported to another one.

Do y'all know why they brought so many slaves to the top destinations? Cause they was working them to death at that rate. In America it was possible to breed slaves. In those places they had to just keep replacing them. shyt is beyond horrific.

I read somewhere that one of the reasons North America was breeding slaves is that by doing that slaves were less and less in contact with their original culture and only knew captivity. That's why Blacks in Latin America somewhat still have aspects of African cultures in their life, as opposed to most AAs.

Colonialism ran rampant for almost 200 years, in some ways still lingering and the racism that exists in our society is a direct consequence of it.

Yeah and the British and the French were already pretty powerful economically at that point and had fought a bunch of wars against each other. This was around the time mercantilism begins and the Europeans wanted to establish "God, Gold and Glory" throughout the world. This literally meant spreading the word of God to "civilize" other people, they would seek out your natural resources for this, usually fukking you over in the deal and would enrich themselves immensely throughout the exchanges. This is where colonialism began.

European cacs truly believed in their eyes and worldview that they were BETTER and more advanced and had to spread their way of life around the world. Mostly, they wanted resources. Whatever it was. Ivory, Furs, Spices, Silks, various metals and the most precious of all, humans. Also many more. They searched the whole world for these things and established their influence where they saw fit. They fought tooth and nail to make this possible. THEY HAD TO (in their eyes). The Kings and Queens of Europe had to have their finest silks and furs, grand pianos and the sweetest tea with their biscuits. All of this expanded rapidly with the development of the Atlantic Slave Trade, which coincided with a time period of highest periods of wealth in human history, all made possible on the backs of slaves throughout various "colonies" in the world.

The ravaging of Africa is the greatest tragedy of human history.

Good points. The bolded is true for every single empire in History though. Europeans did what others were doing but with the most cold-blooded efficiency possible. I've already posted why Western and Northern European kingdoms/empires were more geared to travel overseas than others, that also explains why it was those nations responsible for the Atlantic slave trade. Lest we forget about Africans being made slaves by Arab razzias: same concept, but less "efficient".

This. In the Caribbean those were slave colonies. They didn't care if they lived passed 30, more slaves were on their way.

Don't forget Denmark, The Netherlands and Sweden.

Wipeout all of Europe as far as I'm concerned and take those cacs in Israel with em.

Why hire help when you can buy a nikka for 50 cents.

And work for life in just one transaction.
