    Worse than Arab slavery? They castrated their African slaves. That is why black people are vanishingly rare in the Middle East.

    I tend to disagree with you and believe Arab slavery was much much worse. Explain to me why it was better than American slavery.

    You also might want to investigate African slavery a little more in depth. A sizeable chunk of African slaves were used in mass human sacrifices. That seems a bit worse as well.

    I know of no better way to become conversant in the everyday, practical usage of a foreign language than to have about a six-month intimate affair with a person who is a native-speaker of the language you want to learn.

    It also acquaints you with foreign concepts that you might not think about otherwise... like, I'll never forget how surprised I was the first time I beheld a very lovely, sexy European woman, naked, with hair on her legs and in her armpits. Quite an education, nicht war...? :omg:

    Americans did all of that and more. Plus they created a law that exclusively made "black" ppl slaves for generation upon generation. The Arabs didn't make laws that only targeted black folk. The Arabs were bad, whites and Arabs both have a judgement coming, big time.

    Africans didn't export their form of slavery. It was internal. Arabs and whites exported their more brutal form, around the world on different culturesthis is why we recognize the white and Arab slave trades, since they were far reaching fetishes and government policy.

    The white apologist always states the Arab slave trade as a defense, which is an admittance that Africans were not the oppressor here.

    Their 'fiat' currency-based economy is imploding. You obviously are full-bottled on what is going on and the partnership they have got going with BRICS.

    They didn't care. One could do whatever they wanted with slaves. Arabs often had sex slaves. And one didn't need a reason to kill your slaves. Because they were nothing more than your property.

    That was the universal concept.

    African slaves were not property, they were pows or criminals. There was no universal concept, you just pulled that out of your poopa right now

    No, they weren't. They were POWs and criminals. American slaves were property, innocent individuals kept in bondage generation upon generation. This horror will be judged one day, do not ever doubt this my friend

    Covid 19 disadvantaged type A I think. And China is working in that direction. China plans to rule the world and they don’t care how they do it.

    Prove than every single African country that practiced slavery didn't treat their slaves as property.

    If they were only pows and criminals, and not property, why were they sold?

    The ones sold into the TAST (Trans Atlantic slave trade) that you're referring to were deemed criminals by the Spanish crown due to circumventing trade laws established between the Spaniards and Guinea princes. A bounty was placed on their heads by Spain, they were subsequently captured and sold into slavery to the Europeans on the gold coast.

    Close, it was the Portuguese that were the foot soldiers there, they were working on behalf of the Spanish crown. It's believed that those who worked against the European colonial rule, undermining trade by circumnavigation of established routes, were vast in numbers. This led to a mass exportation of belligerents (Hebrew royalty no less) to the americas by way of ships.

    Wrong

    Where did the supply of slaves come from? First, the Portuguese themselves kidnapped some Africans. But the bulk of the supply came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. The middlemen also purchased many of the slaves from the people in the interior . . . . Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation. The result was that when the trade was abolished [by England in 1807] these Nigerians began to protest. As years went by and the trade collapsed such Nigerians lost their sources of income and became impoverished.

    The historical record is incontrovertible—as documented in the PBS Africans in America series companion book:

    The white man did not introduce slavery to Africa . . . . And by the fifteenth century, men with dark skin had become quite comfortable with the concept of man as property . . . . Long before the arrival of Europeans on West Africa’s coast, the two continents shared a common acceptance of slavery as an unavoidable and necessary—perhaps even desirable—fact of existence. The commerce between the two continents, as tragic as it would become, developed upon familiar territory. Slavery was not a twisted European manipulation, although Europe capitalized on a mutual understanding and greedily expanded the slave trade into what would become a horrific enterprise . . . . It was a thunder that had no sound. Tribe stalked tribe, and eventually more than 20 million Africans would be kidnapped in their own homeland.

    Historians estimate that ten million of these abducted Africans “never even made it to the slave ships. Most died on the march to the sea”—still chained, yoked, and shackled by their African captors—before they ever laid eyes on a white slave trader

    Like istated, those "Nigerian middlemen" were employed by the Spanish crown to capture any "African" that was circumventing the established trade routes that the Spanish crown had established.

    The bounty was made by the Spanish crown and Guinea princes obliged. This is where the accusation of "Africans selling their own" comes from, only it wasn't there own, it was the Hebrew tribes that were taken as captive due to the bounty placed on them by the Spaniards.

    Yes, the slavery in USA, Mexico, Brazile, Argentina, France, England was the worst, because unlike in Africa they protected White, Brown, Red and Asian people from the slavery. More, unlike in Africa they did not allow to sacrify slaves.

    Yep! Esau, you are right – it is time you start to teach Thomas Sowell, Wikipedia and some ignorant professors about slavery.


    or this fake info:
    Esau, it is time for you to write Esaupedia to teach us the true history!

    More to the point, he's not even technically white.

    But hey, he's making a LOT of money being the Mandarin speaking 'white guy'.
