Africans role in fueling the slave trade is a huge one that is usually overlooked. Before Europeans had even set foot on West Africa, slavery was a common thing that was practiced by Africans. Africans captured by other Africans being sold to slavery was not a rare sight. https://files.catbox.moe/ky7kbz.png Africans would barter their fellow Africans for European trade goods at a very low price which further encouraged the Slave Trade. It was mostly Africans that were captured by other Africans and later sold as slaves that fed the slave trade. Rarely did Europeans capture slaves. https://files.catbox.moe/9d14rz.png https://www.ncpedia.org/anchor/africans-atlantic-slave Kingdom of Whydah (or Judah), an African kingdom had engaged in wars over slavery. They had pushed their way into African interior, capturing MILLIONS of other Africans and selling them to both Europeans and Arabs. Kingdom of Whydah became a major slave trading area. https://files.catbox.moe/u72bul.jpg Soon there was a market and a demand for slaves, Africans rulers had no issues providing foreigners with slaves to satisfy their demand. For example, in the 8th century, there was a demand by Arab merchants to buy slaves, Arabs BOUGHT, not captured, BOUGHT, slaves in West Africa. https://files.catbox.moe/eslqfm.png https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides/history/us-history-i/exploration-and-early-colonization/portuguese-explorations-and-west-africa Africans were not conquered, then hunted down, captured and later forced to become slaves as they would like us to believe. Here we see that it was Africans that were willingly providing foreigners with slaves of their own people they had captured for monetary gain. The reason why there were so many African slaves, millions upon millions, was because of the willingness of Africans to sell out their own people. So much for Black Lives Matter then as it does now right? Where is the condemnation for Blacks involvement in fueling the slave trade? And who took the intiative to put an end to the massive slave trade that was going on in Africa? The very same people that Blacks like to blame slavery upon, White people. The British Empire had initiated the Slave Trade Act 1807 (An Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade), this act prohibied the slave trade in the British Empire. The British pressured other nation states to abolish slavery and many of them were African nations.. The British would fine every captain that was caught holding African slaves, 100 dollars for every slave they held. Using the powerful navy of the British Empire, they spent resources to catch slave traders and to free slaves. ''Between 1808 and 1860 they seized approximately 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 Africans who were aboard, the Royal Navy declared that ships transporting slaves would be treated the same as pirates''. The British took even action against African kingdoms that were still engaging in the African slave trade and Anti-slavery treaties were signed with over 50 African rulers due to British pressure. The British even took the intiative to stop the muslim slave trade. https://files.catbox.moe/mbbmpi.png There were African leaders that loved to engage in slavery so much that they would defy the orders of the British Empire despite threats that the British would destroy them; One example of such leader was Kosoko who ruled over Lagos. The British had offered him a friendly relationship if he just signed the treaty were he would abolish slavery. He refused. The British bombarded Lagos and replaced him with a leader that would sign this pact which abolished the slave trade in Lagos. Again, White people using FORCE to stop Black people from engaging in slavery. https://files.catbox.moe/7065xs.png The British took the intiative to expand the anti-slavery movement to other countries. This resulted in 'Treaty for the Suppression of the African Slave Trade'. It was signed in London 20 December 1841 by representatives of the Austrian Empire, Kingdom of France, the UK, Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire and later ratified the treaty except for France. Belgium in 1848 also ratified the treaty. https://files.catbox.moe/snas86.png ALL White nations.... Well, examining history, Blacks should direct their anger towards their own kind in regards to slavery because they are the ones that allowed the African slave trade to flourish. Yes, the jews created the market for African slaves outside of Africa but slavery was still in practice in Africa before that so all jews did was that they saw a business opportunity because to them, goyim is a slave anyway, specially black ones. Also, this was a way for jews to import millions of Blacks all around the world to dillute the gene pool of the non-jew... So when jews came along with the shekels (not even big amounts of shekels) to African leaders, they were all but eager to go as far as to engage in warfare against other African tribes in order to enslave millions of their own kind just to later put them up for sale for foreigners. African slave trade wouldn't even be in existence if Africans did not participate in such a massive scale to deliver engage in warfare against other Africans in order to enslave them and later sell them.. and this pratice would have continued in the massive scale as it did in the past if it were not for White people who took the effort to suppress and Blacks have the audacity to blame Whites for slavery... Black lives never mattered to Blacks, not then and not now. That's some Black History for you right there, let's see this get taught in school. oyy veyy..
