The Arab slave trade enslaved atleast 20 million blacks, yet where are their descendants today?

[Animal House]

It's an incredibly, incredibly complex issue because the records are all over the place, some were falsified, and destroyed, and others were incomplete.
A lot of the slave trade took place in the Horn of Africa, the North of Africa and the West. There are groups of Black people across the Middle East and Asia, including rather large groups in India and Pakistan.
Estimates for how many Black people were kidnapped and sold in the Arab Slave Trade is between 7 and 20 million over about a millenia.
I'll need to do some reading.

damn breh if you find some good books or whatever let me know, this is interesting

Well y'all got to remember back then the Arabs were black or would be considered black in todays societal standards. So you got people conquering other people and selling them to other people with no racial connotation, its just us vs. them no collective identity as "Africans" back then and even if there was then the Arabian Peninsula would be considered Africa not Asia. As for the slave population they usually were used as armies so many died in battle. The rest mixed with the population and then they all got bleached out by the Turks, Persians and Mongols to produce what you see today.

There are plenty of black people or people with partial African descent in the Arabian peninsula.

The situation was different in the Americas where slave masters usually encouraged Slaves to breed as it meant more potential slaves. The Arab slave trade was all over the place and had more females than males in numbers. Females would then give birth to mixed children who will give birth to more mixed children and so on. There was the issue of castration but it wasn't the norm as it was risky.

Eunuchs were valued more but the death rate was really high.

As for the slave population they usually were used as armies so many died in battle.

Well, not really. They were used in various fields from armies, security guards, labor workers, farmers and so on.

Also a lot of those used as armies were European. The Otttomans often took young European kids and trained to be soldiers:

This issue of slavery has shaken my belief in God. There are written records of the Arab/African slave trade dating back to 800AD..and it carries on to this day. Uh, why the brehs? Wtf did we do?

let me get this right the consensus if the black population is so low in the Middle East in relation to the large number of Africans brought over in bondage cause ay-rab pedo faggits castrated or worked to death most of the the little black boys they enslaved and raped/bred the females out of existence..bbbbut coli Muslims told me arabs slavery was so much more humane than European slavery and sand cacs captured Africans were treating like family and freed after converting to Islam they are minorities but blacks descendants of the Africans enslaved still exist across Arabia and the goat fukkers remind them of origin every chance they get....i wish the dispora would reach out to our oppressed brothers and sisters in the Mid East instead of trying to advocate to former black slave holding suicide bombers in Palestine.

mind you i'm sure some of these brothers/sisters are the black indigenous people of the Mid East but based solely on their skin they are branded slaves regardless

You know what's fukked up? The untouchables of Yemen are descendants of Axumite conquerors back in the 300's AD and the native Yemenites themselves are the EXACT same as every other population in the Horn of Africa.
They just became untouchables after the Ottomans and Persians said white is right

No I didn't say you said African's weren't human.
My post was expressing how absurd the view people on Thecoli take on African on African violence is imo.
They really have no more reason to stick together than any of the Asian or European nations but people on here act like it's people from the same culture/country fighting each other.
There is no inner Neegus, there's people working together out of necessity/circumstance that can take different forms/bring out pride which is probably what you mean but when that force isn't there anymore thing's won't be the same and conflicts arise/people's descendants won't feel the same pride because they aren't under that same pressure.

Africans and original native huemans were very in sync with each other until fairy recently due to foreign influence. And even if we all didn't use the exact same words or follow the exact same culture we all generally had a good outlook on each other. Inner fighting and warring amongst people over trivial things very often is a foreign concept
