How Do You Respond To c00ns Who Say, ‘Africans Sold Their Own People Into Slavery’?

[Gritsngravy]

Another thing i'd like to add.

Africans during the time were willing to fight other Africans AND fight europeans.

The Dahomey went to war against France for years.

Unlike you coward ass nikkas who won't even slap a white man - our ancestors would have cut a european's head off and kept it as a trophy.

So watch your fukkin mouth before u disrespect our ancestors.

bytch nikkas.

fukk anybody who sold slaves and I will say that to anybody face who got a problem with that

[Billy Ocean]

Bet you don't call them c00ns to their face though

This is a Black people conversation, cac fakkit. See your way outta this thread. Ok?

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

You were just saying that our taxes and limited resources go to help everyone else and that's the reason Pan Africanism is a failure.

That's a COMPLETE mischaracterization of my actual argument and nowhere did I state THAT being the reason.​

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Fact of the matter is them people participated in slavery and y’all trying to come up with reasons why people shouldn’t acknowledge it
Whole time they just as bad as the white people who tortured raped and killed slaves

Who said we don’t. I firmly tell people all the time the problem is YOU have no understanding of African history and thinks it’s all black and white. Again theirs roughly 3000 ethnic groups in Africa split among 54 nations why are you lumping them in with the roughly 60 ethnic groups split among maybe 15-20 nations that got caught up with the slave trade. Because someone in Senegal gets caught up now that has to include someone from Sudan who may have had 0 interaction with the TAST on his side?

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

That's a fact though
Slavery still happens in some parts of Africa and third world countries

 

[Bushmaster69]

Diaspora war bout to ensue. Wait, let me grab my sit.

Naw. That shyt already popped off and a whole bunch of dudes got bushed/banned.

A lot of people are walking on eggshells since the mods got involved.

Edit: nvm nikkas are starting to get brave again.

I don’t care what tribe you supposed to be apart of slavery is slavery, I don’t even know why you need to bring up anybody else, yes they cultures will be diminished cause they participated in slavery for their own gain, if you participated in enslavement your an evil person Even if the slaves were innocent or your enemies(y’all need to prove that most people enslaved were actively at war with another tribe),

No. People diminishing African cultures by lumping them together to establish a disingenuous argument that blacks were enslaving themselves. But nobody makes similar comments about every other culture having similar dynamics. Native Americans went to war and enslaved their enemies. Ancient Chinese clans and dynasties did the same. Europeans did the same. But we only do this black on black crime to people of African descent because Europeans don’t like to acknowledge the cultural diversity of African nations.

Diminishing the diversity of Africa serves the purpose of belittling the continent and reducing the importance of cultural differences to a non diverse landmass in need of foreign reign. They even made the African continent smaller on maps to diminish its importance.

But deflecting to black on black crime when talking about the UNIQUE evils of white chattel slave trade is a common trope used to help racists deal with white guilt.
If you wanna get into the ways it was different, we can talk. Acknowledging the differences and that the European chattel slave trade was a billion times worse, isn’t an invitation to justify slavery. Sure all slavery is bad. But European slavery and systemic racism is much, MUCH, MUCH worse.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Africans didn't sell 'their own' as Africa wasn't unified. Each ethnic group preyed on one another and saw them as 'others' worthy of enslavement.

This whole idea about African unity is propaganda that was created to unite Black Americans with Africans, aka Pan-Africanism, that ultimately failed, was historically false, and is now counterproductive.​

Even within now defined ethnic groups, people would sell each other into slavery.

U not understanding my point, if you kidnapped and sold slaves u are an evil person I don’t care what tribe you from or who I supposed to be

 

[Bushmaster69]

There a dude who was a modern slave in Africa most of his life on Tik-Tok ima try and find his videos rn

He was branded and whipped yea sure slavery in Africa was "different"

Which part of Africa? Why are you being vague and willfully ignorant?

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

You were just saying that our taxes and limited resources go to help everyone else and that's the reason Pan Africanism is a failure.

Where is Pan Africanism siphoning said taxes and limited resources? Whatever, whereever it is, it can't be any close to comparable to Ukraine or Israel. But again, you said it yourself: "Black Americans don't control America" -- So you mean to tell me this 'pAn AfRiCaN pRopAgAnDa' supercedes that fact and even tricks the government into sending our taxes elsewhere?!

The real problem with pan Africanism imo is the fact you have to include non black African countries like Libya or Egypt who have 0 interest in black African politics and geopolitical structure or when you extend it to diaspora you have to include people who may have strong non black lineage but because they 1 black parent or 1-2 black grand parents they’re included which maybe counter productive as they may not have similar interests it makes no sense. What really needs to take off is black Nationalism.

 

[Uncouth Savage]

FBA’s aren’t African, we only migrated to west Africa for a short time. Some were already in the Americas. We are the chosen people of the Bible (Serious). African sold us, because we’re not they’re people. (Serious)


In my experience with non “FBA’s”, they make it known that we don’t have an identity and they do. They go on and on about how their cuisine is superior and they know their roots and are hard workers and we’re lazy. That’s been my experience.

it must be difficult having maga wite parents and family members right?
you have no experience with those people....
you have experience with your trailer park wite trash family members and parents

I know it must be difficult trying to be understand the wite struggle and pain
crt and voting rights etc
so sad
you have to have conversations with these dumbass magaz
"mom I agree cancel culture is bad"
tell your maga mamma I said hi

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

U not understanding my point, if you kidnapped and sold slaves u are an evil person I don’t care what tribe you from or who I supposed to be

Hope you tell your ancestors that because your family definitely had some slave raiders down the line.

Black on black crime and slavery are two totally different things, Im not lumping all Africans together but at the end of the day people were kidnapping and selling other people and they are just as evil as the Europeans who raped tortured and killed slaves I don’t care who culture is diminished by that fact
