This is a powerful post & even though I already knew most of the facts stated it made me close my porn tabs...for now.
I heard in a documentary recently that Brazil has the 2nd highest population of black people in a country in the whole world. 1st is Nigeria, Brazil comes 2nd.
Ethiopia and DRC would be 2nd and 3rd.
Bruh you contradicted yourself. The north didn't have slaves.North America and the Danish West Indies received the least amount of slaves and Brazil and the Caribbean received the most. At no point were blacks the majority in tge us but the black population in the us was the only one to be able to naturally replenish itself (slaves were expensive so they didnt kill slaves wily nily like south of the border )That's why the us has the second largest black population in the Americas
So those countries have more black people? I dunno, I just heard that in some documentary. I could be wrong.
But they consider their mixed race people black too, as I've read on the net, so I dunno.

They may not have been the majority in the whole US, but there were DEFINITELY more slaves than whites in the SOUTH, to the point where it got worrisome. Contrary to popular beliefs, revolts here on and popping.
If poiter is posting in this topic, put him on ignore, like the majority of people on the coli has, he's trying to dilute the conversation with white supremacist tactics.
i really do not understand how the discussion about reparations has become so taboo in today's society. even amongst black folks, you are looked at in a condescending matter for bringing it up. after all this torture and free labor, shyt makes me sick how generations of our people lived their lives under such misery while profits exploded and wealth was passed down over and over and over again. how the hell did we lose this debate? how did we not even get a debate about this when the japs spent 2 damn years in camps and got paid. shyt is very disturbing.
