exactly:
Frankly white people need to thank god that they found Black people because if they thanos snapped all Black people off the face of the planet they would start doing to themselves (again).

That has to do with how history is taught in some countries. Some countries aren’t allowed to print their own text books especially on history thus suppression of knowledge you see this was a lot of Latin speaking African countries
I mean it's true though for the most part...
Of course that doesn't absolve cacs of their responsibility either.

Some kingdoms outright banned slavery too, we can’t be using a one size fits all shoe. We need to be specific on The Who, what, where, and why

getting blitzed.
Everyone involved were evil, and should be held accountable. No passes. Sounding just like when those white folks say, “well well, it was a different time back then…” when they’re trying to explain their great and grandpappy’s racism.
I respond that I have no history in the sale of other humans and neither did my ancestors simply because I'm African and that goes for majority of Africans.
Usually it's said to make me feel culpable in the trade simply by being from Africa which I reject.

That's not how that shyt worked lol
Some of these kingdoms were knowingly suppling enslaved people and profiting greatly.

What’s your point?
I’m not going to infantalize an entire continent.
The chattel slave trade in Africa went on for 600+ years. There were entire empires built and sustained by the selling of black bodies, men, women, and children. Maybe you could make the “they didn’t know what the white man was doing” argument back in the 1400s
But this went on for HUNDREDS of years and involved TENS OF MILLIONS of people. They knew 1000% what horror, torture, and death would be endured. They knew how many slaves usually died on the way across the Atlantic. I’m sure this was factored into the number of people they sold, This was a major trade, like any other. Whether it be drugs, cotton, etc.
Entire empires, I repeat EMPIRES were BUILT AND SUSTAINED BY THE CHATTEL SLAVE TRADE. Not just cities, towns, states, etc. But EMPIRES.
To this day there are direct descendants of slave traders (I remember a FEW stories of Nigerians): 'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves' - BBC News

And guess what? These people are ELITES, UPPER CLASSES, who still live off the generational wealth of having sold black people into slavery. I’m sure some of them have also immigrated to the very countries they sold black people to be tortured, raped, and killed for generations. Only to be welcomed with open arms, along with the social capital fought and died for by those very same people, and that shyt is truly disgusting.
The descendants of slaves will never be able to get the retribution that is owed to them and that is truly sad.

My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader
African intellectuals tend to blame the West for the slave trade, but I knew that white traders couldn’t have loaded their ships without help from Africans like my great-grandfather.

I say they are correct. What does that change? White people still were the top man on the totem pole. So fukk those who sold us and those who enslaved us.
These are the same folks claiming we are all the same now because it benefits them to co-opt the ADOS identity.
Imagine the impact if Affirmative Action was rewritten to only cover ADOS and not all "Black" folks.
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Minority Development Institutions (MDIs) were only written for ADOS not just Black.
These folks are getting tangible benefits by claiming flat blackness. Benefits built off of the suffering of our ancestors.
All while gaslighting us
