Baddest Afro Descent Women: Day 33 - Gambians!!!

The map clearly says NORTH America aka the USA

You can clearly look at Angolans and see the phenotype overlap with AAs...its not some unbelievable claim

Diaspora, it includes other parts, but most of them ended up in America via the islands.

The black pop in America was 4 million in 1866.

Something isn't adding up.



In 100 years, the population increased 5 TIMES? Not even the chinese could pull off those type of numbers and they were free.

A vast majority of the slaves brought across the Atlantic were imported into the Caribbean and South America. Only 6 percent of African captives were sent directly to North America. And yet by 1825, the U.S. had a quarter of the blacks in the New World. In the Caribbean, Dutch Guiana, and Brazil, the slave death rate was so high and the birth rate so low that they could not sustain their population without importations from Africa. Rates of natural decrease ran as high as 5 percent a year. While the death rate of U.S. slaves was about the same as that of Jamaican slaves, the fertility rate was more than 80 percent higher in the United States. The U.S, unlike other nations, had a self sustaining slave population for more than a century and a half. And the domestic slave trade in the U.S. continued even after the transatlantic slave trade was outlawed in 1808. (The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History).

DEATH TOLL FROM THE SLAVE TRADE

American-Style Slavery

3. The importation of slaves into the United States was banned by Congress (under Constitutional command) in 1808, yet by 1860, the nation’s black population had jumped from 400,000 to 4.4 million, of which 3.9 million were slaves. The primary reason was natural increase, a distinguishing feature of American-style slavery. Between 1790 and 1860, reports Ronald Bailey, author of “The Other Side of Slavery: Black Labor, Cotton, and Textile Industrialization in Great Britain and the United States,” in the spring 1994 issue of Agricultural History, the U.S. slave population increased between 25 percent and 33 percent per year—an average of 28.7 percent over the period.



4. In the U.S., on average, a slave mother gave birth to between nine and 10 children, “twice as many in the West Indies,” according to the Gilder Institute of American History. Yet, in 1860, “less than 10 percent of the slave population was over 50 and only 3.5 percent was over 60.”

I see it in Brasilians, for example Anderson Silva, don't see it in AAs, sorry. Early settlers perhaps had it, but that was quickly bred away by the incoming Yorubi (a people in which I see resemblance). Angolans are not a very tough people, most that were shipped out were from a shattered Kongo Kingdom enslaved by the Yaka. Yorubi on the other hand, are strong...very strong. Mende are tall, some of the tallest on the continent, again, I see the resemblance. But Angolan? I don't. They're a funny almost goofy like people, kind of like the irish or something.

Nearly half the slaves came from Angola and Angola was depopulated at a level no other African region was but they weren't "tough"

@Clean Cut do you know what you're posting?

pfff.... My grandmother's father had more than that.

25% isn't half, and Brasil had a much greater survival rating, as Brasil is much closer to Angola.

half of the SLAVE TRADE
not half to NORTH AMERICA

you're clearly making up shyt as you go so no point in continuing this conversation further.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Nope, we're not going to continue because you'll just believe whatever you want. It is my impression that you lot are not, again, predominately Angolan, because you're not. That's just the bottom line. There is no argument there. The majority, as seen on the map, come from west africa, not south, even with angola contributing a great deal as a single region, it's not the majority.

This is a strawman when this was the argument"

they are also Mende which is what AAs are predominate of

the largest share of AA ancestry being Angolan, Senegambian or groups on the Cameroonian/Nigerian border..

this isn't true

You win then.

Personally I'd rather be Mende than Angolan. But that's just me.

As much as I like their women, their men Can barely break 5'9 on a good day.

My gramdmother had 15 kids but ten kids while in slavery is basically being pregnant your whole adult life....

this isn't true

i actually agree on that point
