Mali during one specific time in history isn't representative of africa as whole
I just think Colonization was gay. It didn’t help anything in the end, it was good in its conception. But now we see what happened to The Middle East, Africa, and even South America to some degree
It was before colonization
Mali was a rarity
The rest of Africa was people killing each other
Mali Ethiopia and Egypt
Are the only great countries
A lot of the stuff in mali was facilitated by north african merchants as well
Very true, they also sold the enemies into slavery, to the Europeans
GG @TheTrickster, you just advanced to level 3!
Not sure if Mali Or Ethiopia did it, but it was fairly common in African Kingdoms considering the constant warfare
Yeah Mali had space
Slaves
People confuse African Slavery with European Slavery
Two different things
African Slaves could hold political power and their kids wouldn’t be born a slave
manpower in africa was probably considered a lot more valuable than in europe
native americans would fight whole wars just to get more manpower
after like calamities
mourning wars
And not enough food to sustain a large population
So ur
Ye
@AETA Can you cite Africans being able to hold political power whilst they were slaves in Africa?
i mean it would make sense that in times of necessity they could open up opportunities to slaves like that
like if a bunch of tribe members died
Yes it makes sense it's just I didn't know that and i want a citation
I'm glad to see big to normal brain conversations in this server
This came to an abrupt end
:(
Oh I was reading something about Mansa Musa
And it said he had slaves in power
I’ll try to find it
slave hierarchies are pretty common
even in America
it's just the hierarchy in America was more limited
It's fine if you don't find it.
I'm reading into those kinda things so I eventually will
@AETA yeah but crime is ultimately a choice and the cycle isn't 1 to 1. My dad dealt drugs and was in medium security prison. My record is clean. It's the glorification of crime that fuels the cycle.
