What you on about? That was the market they used to buy slaves from which was run by other Africans. Approximately a quarter of the population were slaves when the Americans pressured the Saudis to outlaw slavery. Where is there compensation to balance the injustice done to them?! What about the millions all over the Gulf who were in the same predicament? Do they not deserve compensation when much of them are still alive to remember the plight of injustice done to them?
You are so willing to overlook the injustices committed by other cultures by are happily willing to call out Westerners for action they did not engage in. Nobody is owed anything!!
What part of this isnt about "guilt" don't you not understand?
It is supremely bigotted that you consistently try to frame it in a way of blame reassignment, normalizing (everyone had slavery), and statistical downsizing. Blame reassignment refocuses study on Arab and African slavery
The other ploy is statistical downsize serves to lessen the volume of Africans impacted by enslavement.
As i have explained several times already this a compensation payment to correct the structures ,imbalances and disadvanteges created by the European conquest. Not a simple case of aknowledging "injustice".
One of the biggest differences between Arab slaving and European slaving was that slaves were drawn from all racial groups and they were rarely used as a means of crop production; slaves were not the economic engine behind Arab economies.
Nobody is owed anything??.
Go back in time and tell that to the Japanese who recieved $1.6 billion in reparations by the US government and the Jews who recieved a sum of 3 billion marks over the next fourteen years and 450 million to the World Jewish Congress by the Europeans.
