Trade n Ideas didn’t really travel through
anytime anything did it was usually the northern africans going to them and not the other way round
Except for
What’s that one empire
Or country
Oh the Mali Empire
the mali empire was kinda a joke
he was an emperor of a bunch of mudhuts
Ye
Had a shit ton of salt
i think that basically merchants from elsewhere ruled
merchants would setup outposts
Produced theoretically the richest man in the world
Or in history
All that money but still live in Mudhuts
didn't need to pay workers either
slave labor
Oi boys
How're ya
oh shit
crazy
slavery was ubiquitous in africa
it was pretty much expected that any conquered tribe would become slaves
Was it like european slavery
no
it was like blood diamond slavery
cannibal slavery
yo I knew they had slaves
I didn’t think it was that far back
well I think they avoided enslaving their own people
like those genetically similar
but africa was VERY diverse
so they didn't have much of a problem enslaving those different
On that article I was reading
racism was incredibly big in africa
they even ate pygmies for example
because they didn't see them as human
Ye
Africa is the most
Genetically diverse continent in the world
