Breh because Black Americans spend more doesn't mean they make more on average.

What the GDP doesn't tell you is Black Americans spend more than they make. Meaning Black Americans are in debt on average. Black Americans have the worst average credit score out of all groups. Black Americans are in the negative and spends borrowed money. Black Americans are slaves to banks and credit lenders breh.

Just about every human being spends more than they make. Why do you think credit exist? :leostare:

And yes Black Americans create more revenue and make money per capita than the average Nigerian :snoop:

when u combine bight of benin and bight of biafra you get 40%.

They should be combined because the yorubas of oyo eventually conquered dahomey and incorporated it.

the slave coast designation should be eliminated

What does this have to do with what I posted?

I'm African, and don't find anything wrong with what Floyd Mayweather stated.

But like others in this thread have stated, whose asking him for help anyways?

I have a problem with the narrative Anti-African Black people are trying to create by using his comments. Look at the thread title, it was designed to ignite an African vs African-American debate.

My advice to Floyd Mayweather would be to do what Akon is doing with lighting Africa project and get involved in a FOR PROFIT business in Africa. Where your helping and making $$$$$ at the same time. If he wants to become a billionaire investing in Africa is a good move for him.

GDP per capita is a better measure and the average AA has WAY more money than the average Nigerian. They will be fine regardless and are on the way up.

Don't take this the wrong way because I fukks with yall (even with your Anti-African sentiment...NOT YOU per se but Black-Americans in general)...but I believe African people are "more free" than you guys. A lot of you are still on the grid, your still in the matrix, your still conspicuous consumers, addicted to the debit cards, and saddled with a lot of debt and living in urban slums.

You people need to stop labeling Africans as one monolithic group. East Africans, North Africans and Southern Africans weren't apart of the slave trade. Also you should know that Central Africans(who a lot of African diasporans descend from) fought HARD against slavery. It was mainly coastal West Africans like Ghana/Dahomey that willing sold slaves.

I'll gladly touch base on this if anyone wants me to.




so i guess i shouldn't say whites and arabs enslaved us either



foh


we were prisoners of war to the various african nations before we were traded


deal with it

WTF are you talking about? Do you have piss poor reading comprehensions? You keep mentioning Africans as a whole group when not all African participated in the slave trade. So you're saying a whole continent with a billion+ people participated in the slave trade? A person from Kenya ancestors had no involvement in the slave trade. And Arabs never enslaved your ancestors(West-Central Africans).

Yes there were prisoners of war but there were also slaves that similar to servants that some coastal West Africans sold. And like I said Central Africans(who a significant number of black diasporans descend from) fought hard against slavery when the Portuguese invaded what is today Angola. Like I said it was mainly coastal West Africans who willingly sold slaves. It isn't as simple as some of you people make it out to be. Slavery in Africa as a whole was different from the one practiced in the Americas.
