Rapper Lupe Fiasco Breaks Down The History Behind The Authentic Slave Trade Currency He Purchased

So this is the currency(which was created by Europeans) Africans used in exchange with Europeans for slaves? That's pretty crazy, props to Lupe though for collecting those historical artifacts. I don't think I could do it without feeling awkward every time I see them.

Basically yeah it is and the way he looks at it is that he is buying back his Future. He is buying back the trajectory of his future and though the history is ugly he wants to make the future better

Another thing I noticed is that he mentions slave ships and how they found some of the Manillas he got from sunken slave ships, so to those who say slave ships never brought us from Africa they should look into this.

Fake news

Negged, stop with this ignorant shyt.

"Stop telling blacks that all of them weren't slaves"

"Stop telling blacks that most of them were here in america before cacs"

"Stop telling blacks that the real slave trade they should be looking into is the "Indian" slave trade since "Indians" were later reclassified to "negro"

You basically sound like a white supremacist

@Diasporan Royalty

Instead of tagging daddy for help, why don't you explain where I'm wrong? Indians were reclassified as negros so why do y'all ignore the "Indian" slave trade for the Atlantic one that doesn't even make sense? Do you know the first slave trade had "Indians" going to Africa and Europe where you only see blacks and cacs?

Just because I call into question the authenticity of something being espoused in a thread doesn't mean I'm derailing it. And I shouldn't have to agree with a thread for my comment to remain in view. But I get it. Anytime a breh says anything about blacks having indigenous ties to America the agents come out to derail that. Because God forbid blacks acknowledge having ties to anywhere but Africa

Some of us are related to Native Americans however that's very few of us and most of us came over here as slaves. Those are the facts

Also did you know that some Native Americans held African American slaves.

This is pretty fukked up. So, the tribes took the bracelets (based on weight) for our Ancestors?

As a spiritual person - I don't think I would want the "money" in my home -- I can only imagine the pain and energy attached to them.

No those aren't facts those are narratives. The actual facts show that there were a lot of blacks already here when the Europeans came. Then the Indian slave trade happened. Then Indians were reclassified to negros. Then the so called Atlantic slave trade happened. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out that alot if not the majority of black people were here and not taken from Africa. Why not address those facts?

Also did you know that Native Americans held African American slaves.

Yes because black people had slaves too.

Source?

What I do know is:

Native American slavery actually began almost 200 years before the transatlantic trade -- and it was outlawed around 1680.

This is where you lose credibility.


- please list location/racial category of most of those Black slave owners? Cause they were mulattos - not Black and more studies that have been release have shown they were really white - and listed as "mulatto" -which most labeled as "black slave owners -- and not the truth.

- please list if these slave owners were owning their family members -- as most of them did -- hence making them "slave owners."


Please list sources.

I can - but I get so tired of educating folks who don't take the time to research before stating damaging and false ish.

So why are very few blacks actually related to native Americans when you do the research and the DNA? Also show me the facts dawg, show me the sources. You could say or regurgitate anything but I want the facts.

*thinks to self*Jesus Christ! I call on the strength the ancestors....give me strength. Give me the ashe to wake this dude up cause he lost in the moorish spanish sauce. I bet you he believes he could spit that moorish shyt and beat a court case and he doesn't have to pay his taxes.
