Saw this today.
This girl is ADOS excellence!
Dynast Amir had this one video where it showed the demonic bartering system of certain west african tribes and europeans. Anago Osho the tour guide showed dynast evidence of the items africans were sold for and the amount of people needed to make the transactions go through
Anago said the africans didn't even set the terms of the trade themselves, the europeans did!
10 africans for one bottle of liquor
40 africans for one canon gun
40 africans for one umbrella
10 africans for one gun

I wanna look at this from a different perspective and I'm genuinely interested in hearing y'alls opinion. Not to debate, just clarity on a diff viewpoint Native Americans:
For comparison, Native Americans sold Manhattan island for roughly $1100 in today's dollars. That sale was profoundly influential in the increase of the slave trade. No Manhattan, no Wall Street-- No Wall Street, No slave auctions-- No slave auctions, No NYC/Global city that we know today. On the same coin, Natives accepted blankets covered in smallpox, etc. What they saw as a 'good deal' led to their own demise. I'm sure there's similar cases in India and elsewhere and the perpetrator remains the same.
We're all victims in one form or another, and our victimhood often has overlap upon further inspection. Why do we place resentment on each other when the perpetrators got over on the entire global south?
