Actually
For who?
Blacks or euros
Blak
Australia
And cool which tribe bro, I'm wiradjuri
For blacks
I mean in Africa the slave trade gave chieftain's and kings profit
They raided and sold prisoners
Better, worse, it's all subjective
The slaves obvs didn't like it
So depended if you care about a slave or a chieftain
No, it isn't subjective
Do you think that if These Kingdoms knew the fates of the slaves that they sold, do you think they would have stopped or reduced the slave trade?
It very much is as it's left up to your own personal feelings and interpretations of what happened vs what could have happened
Im fairy sure they did know
Odds are it would have been an equally as shitty reality
And the slaves were captives from war or criminals
But that's up to the individual to speculate
So I don't think the African slavers cared
I’ve actually heard black people claim that blacks should be grateful for being educated, Americanized, bla bla
I think this is pretty pathetic tbh
Yeah lol
Yeah it is
People underestimate the success and modernity of African kingdom's
It is subjective
Europeans destroyed Africa
Im ayapathu
You can not objectively claim something is good or bad
Año
Most African Americans come from west Africa
and west Africa was the most urbanized part of Africa
I don't know who the ayapathu are, which state?
Nobody should be justifying the enslavement of their own race/ethnicity that’s stupid
They enslaved other tribes or people's tho
Africa wasn't homogenous
tfw people say “why did Africans enslave their own kind”
That’s like saying “Why did Europeans enslave their own kind”
enslavement transcends race
It's about the defeater and the defeated
I mean more generically the African Americans who justify their ancestors being slaves
Or downplay it, I should say
Odds are if Europeans left Africa alone they would've still enslaved each other or been enslaved by some other hypothetical people
