This is difficult subject because:
- It’s a deflection White Supremacists use to justify their enslavement of Black people.
- Does “sell me these n****rs or I’ll kill this whole village” count as a business deal?
- Some of the countries in Africa are new and didn’t exist when we were taken.
If this ever gained significant ground it would put a significant dent in a reparations argument against the USA as the Government could say “see we bought you fair and square, talk to the Africans about it”.
I think it’s misplaced anger and a deflection used to take our eyes off the ball. It’s meant to have us focus on fighting Continental Africans instead of the white people who are robbing us both.
Were there probably sell outs? Yes. But Europeans came and stole everything, to then make it look like they came and had legitimate business dealings with Africans is a farce.
They act like they pulled up to Dikembe’s Slave Mart and order a couple million negros.
No, they came with war in their eyes and conquered.
Wow, the bolded .... it sounds just like a Neanderthal cave monster. No,....
it is the Neanderthal cave, impish, soulless monster. That is just like them and is their mentality. Their true evil and the terroristic genocidal tendencies that dwell inside them, their Satanic state of mind and being, their repainting of events and history, their twisting of words and stories, them boldly lying to everyone about everything despite being caught in the act and having concrete historical documentation and evidence on and off record, the ongoing projection of blame and shame, continual denial, etc.
They love leaving those vital bolded parts out (
the bolded parts - the constant threats of death, tyranny, and terrorism from whites if whites don't get what they want: land, property, material and black bodies) when projecting their guilt and blame, and while blaming and putting the responsibility onto the African people (aka other Black people) for merely "selling us out" to violent criminal
white savages for some butter biscuits and trinkets. It makes so much more sense now when you add these missing bolded parts in and paints a more accurate picture of real, actual history that occurred.
And the whites
still ended up terrorizing, colonizing and destroying much of Africa and its native people anyway. And they are
still waging war against Africa today (watch out for sick maniacs such as Prince William, Bill Gates, and the like that are absolutely
obsessed with Africa and stopping its so-called "
overpopulation" problem, which code speak for "we are heavily considering attempts of genocidal methods ASAP").
So in the end, did Africa and its people
really gain anything from the slave trade anyway? No, of course not.
If anything, the whites / Europeans and eventually the Chinese and others will need to repay Black Africans and the Black Caribbeans for the destruction, massive grand theft, and evil they caused (and are still causing) to their lands after the FBA get Reparations.
Some of our ancestors did go back to Africa after slavery. That's how the west African country of Liberia came to be.

Welp, Looks like the USA will need to pay out the ass to Black descendants of American enslaved peoples worldwide once they pay out the ass to the FBA who live on American soil first.
I have never heard the name of even one African who sold other Africans into the US Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
I always assumed that such a narrative was an attempt to shift the blame for slavery to Africans. I think their line is " everyone was doing it" and "Africans sold the slaves".
The ones who must pay reparations are the ones who used slavery to build immense wealth and power. Such a description doesn't describe Africans.
Yep. If the slave owners and other racists weren't "
imperfect (wo)men of their time" then they were just good ol' whites that cared for the slaves, got along and sang songs with them, and "
didn't mean no harm." After all, the knowing about actual horrors of slavery and anti-Black terrorism are "
overblown hogwash" and only make people "
more divisive." I mean, Asians, Jewish, Natives, Latinos, white Irish, and other groups "
don't have any dogs in this fight",
right?
And let them tell it, most white Americans and the US Government are still broke, in financial crisis, and suffering from "
economic anxiety" and therefore cannot afford to pay us Reparations because it's "
impossible", "
unfair", "
ridiculous" and "
unrealistic." Because whites and others (that are still eating off our ancestral labor and help to disenfranchise us) are struggling and gotta live for the rest of the month and eat too, right? So damn those "
ungrateful" Black American people struggling from the historical and current after effects of the ongoing Black Holocaust because it's always our fault no matter what,
right?
Which is a damn shame. Niggas running fro one oppressor to the next. That’s what happens when you don’t have a Black identity. They don’t see each other as one.
They are too busy repping their Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Yoruba, Mixed, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Somalian, "French", "British", "Chinese", Hebrew Israelite, "Cherokee", Igbo, and other heritages, side, tribe, country, religion, ethnic group, and nationality before their Black race / identity.
It is deadly and dangerous to walk around this planet and not acknowledge race and/or say and believe that "
you're not Black" or "
not like the other Black people", regardless of your reason for doing and thinking so. Because busybody racist thugs with badges, race soldiers, Karens, racist POC, and other white Supremacists see your Black skin no matter what at the end of the day and will act against you and any of your Black children, friends, and family accordingly.
The British, French, Russians, Italians, Polish, Ukrainian, Irish, Scottish, white Canadians, Germans, Hungarians, white Jewish, white Israelis, white Latinos, white Australians, Spaniards, Swedish, white/mixed Native American, Norwegians, white Americans, etc love repping their countries, heritages, sides, political parties, religions, ethnic groups, class, genders, sexual orientations, tribes and nationalities too.
BUT they NEVER forget their race, their whiteness, and what it means to and for them. They are white 1st before anything else. That is the unspoken code and rule for them no matter where they are. Most of them will not tell you that admit that to you. You have white Trump fanatics in every single country imaginable. Why? Because these whites all get on code and know that Trump represents whites and white interests first at the expense of everything and everyone else (which is exactly how they like it). Never forget, racist white Jewish Republican former Mayor of NYC Mike Bloomberg changed his Republican clothes and ran as Democrat during the 2020 Election for the world to see shamelessly. They aren't actually Republican or Democrat first, they're white first.
Asians beef with other Asians (ex: Chinese vs Japanese) until it's time to "Stop Asian Hate" by hating Black people and saying that Affirmative Action should be destroyed (unless it's for other Asians), make or swindle money as a collective, defend murderers like Peter Liang and rapists like Daniel Holtzclaw (however the fuck you spell this evil deranged hapa's name). Same situation with Latinos, Native American tribes, and so on and on.
So if these whites and others continue to tell you that "
they don't see race or color" or that "
you shouldn't make everything about race" or some other nonsense like that, then they are
fucking lying to you and setting you up to fail, which is what they want and will continue to do.
If you continue to believe such lies they feed you, you might as well be casket ready because you are putting a target on your back for them to come after you once they catch you off-guard and blindside you. Once they do or they try you again, will you survive?
