Arab slavers took more slaves than Americans (?)

[joeychizzle]

This is some sad shyt

Several sources cite that Arab slavers have taken more slaves (up to 18 million) in older times, apparently more than the 12 million shipped during the Atlantic slave trade, and 16 to 30 times more than the 600,000 (is that an accurate figure?) shipped to America since 1620.
I always knew the Arabs had slaves, but to this extent, holy shyt.

Is this all true? goddamn. Wasn't aware of this.

They also took over a million Europeans as slaves.

Coli Muslims what are your thoughts on this?

Arabs are Pan Ethnic. So you had Black Arabs taking Black Slaves.

Slave comes from the word Slavic.

Arab slaves could also move up the socio economic ladder for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_al-Misk_Kafur

And Arabs took Bantu slaves. Black Americans are Mande. 2 different people.

This is so wrong on so many levels,, first off Americans never took slaves,, second of the general consensus for trans Atlantic slave trade is 25 million and estimates have been as high as 100 million

No America didn't have slave ships
,, Spain, Portugal, France and the Dutch took the slaves and sold em to the Americas.., only 5% of the slaves came to America,, the rest were in South America , Mexico , central America and the Caribbean

 

[observe]

In history books they put it at 11 million but a lot of historians estimate between 25-60 million,, Ive heard it as high as 100 mill

The reason is is that smuggling slave ships would smuggle in slaves so their numbers are off the records

Arabs were Black and Bantus are not Mande. Smarten up.

Arabs are variously mixed but they aren't "Pan Ethnic" at base. The J1 haplogroup is Near Eastern, not African. There is no such thing as a "black Arab" unless you're talking about East Africans, and then I think the Arabs were still to blame.
