Dz Ali OG...Pay me like you owe me!
it took 2 weeks to a little over month not 4-5 months
If it only took 2 weeks then the feat is much more feasable...
I swear I read info that the trip was 4 months tho...
...and some waffle fries

This negroe said it took 2 weeks.Big wooden ships in the 1500s "sailing" (using wind for power) 4000 miles at 5mph in the rough Atlantic took 2 weeks??
White man had some secret propellers
respect brah
Carribbean people always seem to know whats up... Standing up is in our blood.
son same exact sh1t with me. In 4th grade it was a FAT ASS OBESE CAC CAVE bytch teaching us about columbus discovering America, despite "indians" being there. A young Blessup always got yelled at by that fat bytch . Simply for asking questions. It never made sense or sat right with me.
No wonder he on that
funny you had the same shyt happen in 4th gradeYou see how this clown didn't deny what I said. "I haven't touched thiccness in years
" got photographic memory Think this is appropriate here, slave port recently unearthed in Rio de Janeiro, for those that question physical evidence of ships/ports this is fairly significant
Brazil's hidden slavery past uncovered at Valongo Wharf
Rio de Janeiro is a city looking to the future. Major development work is underway in the city's historic port area as it prepares to host the Olympics in 2016.
But the construction effort to make all that happen has unexpectedly shone a light on a dark side of Rio: its past as the largest entry point for African slaves in the Americas.
In 2011, excavation work uncovered the site of Valongo Wharf, where almost a million African slaves disembarked before the slave trade was declared illegal in Brazil in 1831.
The wharf and the complex surrounding it were constructed in 1779 as part of an effort to move what was regarded as an unsightly trade to an area far from the city centre.
Emaciated from the long crossing from Africa, many slaves died not long after arriving in Brazil
Slave traders would inspect the newly-arrived slaves from Africa and sell them on
The cemetery's exact location was only uncovered in the 1990s, when a couple renovating a house discovered a large number of bones.
The area is a stark reminder of the role Brazil played in the slave trade.
More than four million slaves were taken to Brazil over three centuries. That is 40% of all slaves brought to the Americas.
And despite the official abolition of the slave trade in 1831, the clandestine trade continued to flourish.
Slavery itself, rather than the trade in slaves, was not banned until 1888, making Brazil the last country in the western world to abolish the practice.
"This whole area was a major slave market and all the sites associated to that trade have disappeared. The Valongo Wharf is the only one remaining," he explains.
Anthropologist Milton Guran, who co-ordinates the bid to have Valongo recognised as a Unesco World Heritage site, thinks preservation is especially important because "we had successive attempts to erase this history".
"Slavery finally started being perceived as something heinous and the Empire sought to obliterate that mark," he says.

Aint no way they was making that trip in the 1500s in 2 weeks.....
1. Melanesians are not African 2. Maybe Malians came (I have never ruled this out) but I am not acting as if it is fact
believe what you need to get you by
ok then. pre-columbian prescence of BLACK people in the americas.
plus it wasn't just nikkas from Mali. they are the most noteworthy because of the fact their oral traditions last to this day. there could've have been dozens of different west african tribes that made the journey across the atlantic.
Like i said, we have different definitions of Black and while I don't discount the possibility of West Africans making it to America, I do not regard it as certain.
Agree to disagree

Dudes had me second guessing myself lol. I'm no history buff, but I seem to remember that trip being long and hard. Our modern Navy take 1 week.

The theory that some of the slaves in America were actually black people who already lived here and were conquered and enslaved along with the African brehs.

That's what I pretty much thought too... Had gangs of cousins in the Navy, and they used to plan 2 weeks for those trips to factor in the unpredictability of the weather and ocean..... and these are on the most modern ships fathomable that are powered, and not relying on wind and current........
So if it takes a week or so now.... I can easily see it taking 3 months more often than not back then
