  It’s great that they forced their erstwhile captors to do a runner.
  The Brits were responsible for much worse & had to be “invited to leave” on quite a few occasions.

  Arabs also did slavery long before Europeans.

  @goldvegas the author doesn’t live in an arab country, he lives in america, and he lives there because he is descended from slaves. So naturally slavery in the United States is a bit more important to him than slavery in the arab world.

  @darkangel - The description mentions the British & the British Empire, or didn’t you notice?

  It’s somewhat clearer now why you’re not called “bright” angel.

  I wonder if Horne mentions that the Native Americans took Westerners as slaves, and the the Irish were sold to Africans on the Barbary Coast. I have a friend from Illinois (which is paying reparations via remodeling black people’s homes), whose family was sold by the King of England because they couldn’t afford to pay taxes, but since he is white, he is not included in the reparations, never mind the fact that Illinois was a free state anyway, thus not guilty of partaking in the slave trade in the first place.

  This is the kind of thing you guys tell yourselves all the time to justify your innate fear of Black people.

  I wonder if they truly thought the Europeans could maintain the Trans-Atlantic slave trade without obtaining slaves directly from African tribes that kept slaves of their own.
  The Ashanti tribe was a thing, and not the only tribe to sell its own into slavery.

  typical woke gay snowflake BS. Blame people 400 years ago for tyrone’s current unwillingness to get a job and stop shooting kids. Trash.

  Nobody whining here plans to listen to this ha ha
  Triggered by a title

  Ethnography & archaeology makes clear violence & yeah, slavery, existed before whitey arrived. But was the character the same, or different? You gotta read to move beyond this boring objection
