Why do Somalis care so much about what black americans say about africans? Who cares?!
he says africans have been calling him jar**r.What does this have to do with us? He is talking about West Africans who enslaved and sold their ancestors to Europeans.
Whites didn't capture them, it was the Africans who enslaved the ancestors of ADOS and then sold them to whitesThis is white mans new scheme to bankrupt Africa. He is sending his attack dog, the coon who thinks he’s woke, on us.
How are Africans gonna pay reparations before the cadaans who enslaved them??

Lol, so he wants West African nations that have been ravaged and exploited themselves by cadaans to pay AAs?
Tariq needs to understand that slavery was a way of life amongst Africans in those days and they had no clue that the cadaans would use madows like chattle in the most horrifying ways or that they would make madows the face of slavery.
Towards the end, they were kidnapping though.Whites didn't capture them, it was the Africans who enslaved the ancestors of ADOS and then sold them to whites
In Africa, groups from different ethnicities would fight each other and then the winning group would enslave some of the other group. Unfortunately, slavery was a common part of human history. White people used to enslave each other as well. But what makes the transatlantic slave trade so different was that for first time in human history, slavery was racialised and cadaans would preach that madows are inherently inferior simply due to the color of their skin. The level of brutality that was inflicted on enslaved Africans by the cadaans was also unheard of. This is not something Western Africans at the time could have predicted.interesting article.

My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader
African intellectuals tend to blame the West for the slave trade, but I knew that white traders couldn’t have loaded their ships without help from Africans like my great-grandfather.www.newyorker.com

Slave raiding raiding by Europeans was negligible. It's nothing like the Indian ocean slave trade where raids into the interior played a huge role in the procurement process for the non-African slavers.Towards the end, they were kidnapping though.
The Trans-Saharan and Indian ocean slave trade of blacks predated the trans-Atlantic by 1000 years+. Kinda wild to say the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was the first time slavery was racialized when even at the time of Mohamed Abeed was synonymous with black. Those trades were so prolific every muslim in the MENA has sizable amount of ancestry from (female) black slaves that arrived from those trades. Speaking of brutality, these Asians employed systematic unhygienic castration of male slaves such that only ~10-33% males lucky enough to survive the process in those slave trades made it to their end destination. Western Africans built warring empires, syndicates and trade networks for the explicit purpose of producing slaves to meet European demand and ultimately enrich themselves. The attempts to absolve West Africans from their complicity in the trade is wild.In Africa, groups from different ethnicities would fight each other and then the winning group would enslave some of the other group.
