Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
Good response, you seem knowledgeable on this topic. I think you’ll admit that all the people you mentioned identified as Arabs whether or not they were from the Arabian peninsula.
Appreciate it. Like I said Palestinians COULD have engaged in the Arab slave trade but I have not seen solid sources yet. But me? I personally don't consider Palestinians/Levantines or North Africans to be TRUE Arabs.


If we accepted your explanation couldn’t most White Americans say they have nothing to do with slavery because slave ownership was limited to an elite group of British descendants?
Nope. Can't compare the two. All White-Americans benefited from slavery either directly or indirectly. In fact poor Whites were most angry when slavery ended. The Gulf Arab states made the most money off the Arab slave trade.

Be careful when addressing the Arab slave trade because its a favorite argument from cacs to deflect blame from them when it comes to African colonization. Now not saying Arabs were squeaky clean because their form of slavery was just as bad or WORSE than the Euros but.... We just gotta be careful.

Just out of interest are you black (not being sarcastic)?
Yes. ADOS/Haitian.

I hear what you’re saying but the more you read African history the more difficult it becomes to ignore the ‘Arab’ role in slavery on the continent.

When I say Arab I’m referring to anyone who spoke Arab or was part of their societies. Let’s agree to disagree on that.

Personally I have no bone in the fight between Israel & Palestine. I just find it weird why this issue receives such a disproportionate amount of attention.

Even in this thread some of the comments about Israel or Jews could have been written on st0rmfr0nt. So I would also caution you to be careful of racists using Palestine or Israel as a smokescreen for their own nefarious beliefs.

Good Discussion

I’ve noticed it’s incredibly hard for educated Africans to actually emigrate. In Accra there are thousands of graduates who find it impossible to get a visa to the UK or America.

I don’t get how the uneducated Africans manage to get into Europe or Israel in this case.

Asylum / Marriage / Visa overstay / Study for both or Work in Israel
