Understanding the long-run effects of Africa’s slave trades

[Bawon Samedi]

You're forgetting two other slave trades that had an impact on the continent of Africa. The first being the Paleo American slave trade and the Barbary Slave Trade. The former occurred right after the discovery of the New World, when Europeans began shipping the newly discovered dark melanated people or copper colored races (See Webster's Dictionary 1828) to Europe and Africa. The latter led to start of the Barbary Wars, thousands or millions of Europeans being traded in North Africa.

Knock it off. First warning.

I don't know what's your problem...leave me alone and get a life.

@Poitier - where's the link for this study?

Fascinating stuff. Africa's population will be proportional to what it was in 1500 this century, I think.

How about you instead of desperately trying to turn every thread here into a blacks were Native American topic. Its not happening with this thread which seems to be a potential good topic. Once again final warning,

shyts mad depressing when you think about it

Then you wonder why people reject their africaness / black ness or want to assimilate

Those Europeans truly fukked yo everything

Literally put Africa on Pause for 500+ years, and while Africa and Blacks in general was on pause literally stealing everything from it, and then when Africa presses play again, everyone points their at the continent and it's descendants as simply being unable to compete as if it was from nature.

Its like waking up from a Coma but hearing while in the Coma you some how signed off your inheritance to some White dude.

This article or whatever seems to only focus on the exportation of people and not the importation of people. Basically ignoring the effects of the imports.

This is why I asked if you were white in that other thread.

You're focusing only on one part from my entire post ignoring everything about the Barbary Coast... stop reaching nikka. I wasn't even going to post anything else...I'm not on this site 24/7...

Bruh you on some bytch shyt right now

This whole thing seems mad obvious.
Colonies + brutality of reign + number of African peoples exported to "The New World" and to Western Europe would probably yield the same result (if you represented brutality in a number of small formula)

Yall make it incredibly obvious yall don't read shyt.

I read the study you posted.
If you read excerpts from a Martin Meredith book regarding slavery and asked a freshman high school class about how it may have affected the country, you'd have gotten the same exact answers, minus the empirical evidence.
Because colonisation was only alluded to, and not outright mentioned and tied into the results, I pointed out that a study using it as the lens would yield the same, or similar results.
Where is it obvious " didn't read shyt?"

Because the study isn't just saying "slavery led to underdevelopment" when it clearly dives into cultural and societal impact beyond economics. Even in terms of economics, something like the relationship between slave exports (by land area) and real per capita GDP is something that offers a fairly insightful view on underpopulation and commodity economies.

@Poitier
Great article, just finished it, something I'll be thinking about for a while.

I can cosign that.
The "statehood" issue wasn't focused on though, and in terms of fracturing between ethnic groups and halting economic progress, it probably needs to be stated as a "lurking" kind of variable (even if the effects are well known).

It's a nice article... but I dunno.. just thinking "no shyt" about a bunch of the things it talks about.
