So why do you guys think so much focus is put on Slavery in the USA

[WaveGang]

when in reality less than 10 percent of slaves transported from Africa actually went to the USA?

Bonus facts

1. The Atlantic slave trade carried about two to three men for every woman.

2. The slave trade reduced the adult male population by about 20 percent, dramatically altering the ratio of working adults to dependents and of adult men to adult women.

3. One result of unbalanced sex ratios was to encourage polygyny.

4. Another result was to reduce traditional male forms of work, such as hunting, fishing, livestock rearing, the clearing of fields, the chopping down of trees, and the digging up of roots. The result was a less protein rich diet and a reduction in agricultural productivity.

5. About 14 percent of slaves sent to the New World were children under 14; 56 percent were male adults; and 30 percent were female adults.

that poor 10%...

Not even sure those numbers are real. Probably the white man trying to fabricate it to make it seem that slavery wasn't as bad as black think.

I think we on the same wave here, I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the real number of deaths was close to a billion, and they got the figures belieeeh dat


Brazil has the largest black population of any country in the world outside africa. Nigeria has the biggest Black population in the world, second Brazil.

Because the US was built on slavery. It's economic and entire social structure was built on slavery. And its residual affects are still obviously present to this day.

One worst forms of slavery in History of recorded man.
White People been ahead because of slavery and won't admit it. (Majority of these fortune 500 companies riches come from slavery)
History of the people taken captive had been destroyed or rewritten to make them sub human.

Can't believe this is a real thread.

It makes African American history all the more incredible imo. We shouldn't even still be here. It's true Brazil received 40% of Africans transported to the new world. How many people know more Africans were bought to Mexico and Peru, than the US? But you never hear about Black people there do you.

 

[yesiambowling]

Probably because most posters here are American.

There's also the factor that the US was embarrassingly late in ending slavery. Or at least, that's what I learned.

Blacks were in South America and Mexico even California wayy before slavery.
Goes to show how powerful they were in making us subhhuman and non factor in the world.

I just wish they admit the shyt (Slavers) because their ancestors admitted it.

Plus the mentality that came from the Atlantic slavery and years after - is still with us today.


This is a thread because, while I agree with OPs core points; he has a vendetta against Muslims so he feels that the focus should be on that slavery instead (at least that what he said in another thread).

Because it was more inhumane in the US than anywhere else during that time.

Spoiler

Only in America were blacks regarded as not real people.

slavery was inhumane alot of places outside the US for black people, sometimes equally so. Even in some places like Nicaragua and countries bording the ocean Blacks were forced to do precious pearl diving, literally placed in a cage and dropped to the ocean floor in some cases having their lungs burst while under water

 

[cleanface coney]

only in US they denied us education,split up the family,did all kind of crazy sick shyt white people already like to do

seem like after a while the other countries that had slaves let up... but in the US nope they still got treated the worst AND our culture erased

 

[DEAD7]

The big one there is the splitting up of the family. Even in South America was slavery was prevalent, blacks were allowed to marry and remain with their spouses.


Also writing that blacks are not people but property into the constitution is pretty hard to beat.

because, we are in america
