Africa?
Whats Africa mean in this context..slaves were taken from west Africa, a small section of a massive continent so why say 'Africa' as if you're referring to a single country.

You hate it when Black Americans are generalised but you turn around and repeat the same for Africa and Africans.

The audience member asking Khalid the question mentions West Africa, specifically Senegal

SOME COASTAL West African countries and Angola, yes.

but lets be honest, that's never happening. atleast not until they are first world nations with trillion dollar economies. only coastal west african country I see reaching trillion dollars of economy in our lifetime are Nigeria and maybe Ivory coast. but I don't think there were any slave ports in Ivory Coast so thats out of the equation.

by that time - their militaries will be developed and well-prepared for any foreign adversary.

nikkas better mobilize their troops and send their best general.

Most of the diaspora will enlist to support Africa

Tariq fans getting smashed on the first day of battle.... instantly.

lol my people killed slavers.

Other tribes were fighting each other and trading prisoners of war for guns and money, in a lot of contexts both sides were doing it during war.

But being honest if you lost at combat with a rival tribe, you were probably already going to end up an indentured servant for the rest of your life or be put to death, only difference is your kids wouldn’t, they would intermarry and become members of the tribe that conquered you. Only in the West did it become chattel slavery.

Which is why you see DNA from rival tribes in the transatlantic diaspora.

Even with our tribe, slavery was illegal and punishable by death on the spot, but some still participated, with the southern part of Igboland splintering off and forming the Arochukwu Confederacy which would raid northern Igboland and the Calabar/Cross Rivers regions for slaves. That’s why there are so many stories of Igbo slaves spread throughout the diaspora.

So between the extinct tribes that participated, the tribes the existing tribes that participated and were also victims, and the the tribes that outlawed it and still became victims, who is liable?

And with those slaves that travelled in those boats, were they African Americans, or Africans in the Americas. You read most of the primary source slave literature/writings from the transatlantic slave trade, the slaves usually identified as their tribe back on the continent even after being renamed and living their entire lives in the West, they knew who their people were. Olaudah Equiano knew he was an Igbo boy the got kidnapped by slave raiders. Ottobah Cugoano knew he was from the Fanti tribe, his family were respected people in their village, and he and his friends were also kidnapped by slavers at the age of 13.

These slaves wrote stories about their lives before slavery, they weren’t born into slavery.
We can’t act like the first black abolitionist group in the West, consisting of freedmen, didn’t call themselves the “Sons of Africa”

“Equiano recounted an incident of an attempted kidnapping of children in his Igbo village, which was foiled by adults. When he was around the age of eleven, he and his sister were left alone to look after their family premises, as was common when adults went out of the house to work. They were both kidnapped and taken far from their hometown, separated and sold to slave traders. He tried to escape but was thwarted. After his owners changed several times, Equiano happened to meet with his sister but they were separated again. Six or seven months after he had been kidnapped, he arrived at the coast where he was taken on board a European slave ship.[10][11] He was transported with 244 other enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to Barbados in the British West Indies. He and a few other slaves were sent on for sale in the Colony of Virginia.”
