but yo
a slave is a slave. whether its white black middle eastern asian whatever. white people get demonised as these evil monsters who enslaved the black people. the reality is white people enslaved black people because they were easy to enslave. those who were living in minor tribes were easily captured like you see depicted in the movie roots. but one of the key things forgotten is most the black people were SOLD into slavery, by black kings and leaders of bigger tribes. a more accurate depiction would be a huge tribe of africans overruning a smaller tribe, tying them up and capturing them, and giving them to the white men for shit like booze and feathers. but thats neither here nor there
the point is every people has enslaved people. every single fucking culture in recorded history has a history of slaves. the greatest civilizations all were built on the backs of slaves, whether its rome egypt china america all of them slaves played an integral part.
basically what im getting at is at this point in time in history, black people are affected by the after effects of there ancestors being enslaved. but white people tend to forget that after the slaves were "freed" everything wasnt just happy and equal. lol. black people didnt even become viewed as equals in society until most of our fathers lifetimes. the 60's and shit.
but slavery was 200+ years ago get over it bros smh

North Africa is practically European. Most of the muslims from North Africa integrated with Europe very early on.
i'm not saying whites or europeans were these terrible slavers who are to blame for everything lmao. i'm not trying to skew it. whenever slavery got associated with people of especially dark skin (1600-1800... direct result of the Atlantic slave trade ie america ie Africa suddenly becomes a gigantic slave plantation) shit got real
like, slavery was way more racist with america than it was with other countries because of its convenient source being very dark skinned, and people eventually associated slavery entirely w/ black skin
but word this thread was kinda a ticking time bomb. got em
