apparently you think i was joking?
that was a serious post.
honestly in every war in human history, there have been victims
the enslaved africans were just victims of thier own warmongering, or greed.
1 thing africans lacked were guns
europeans got guns from the muslims, and made them better.
in order 2 obtain cheap labor for the new world the started trading slaves.
do you know where the word slave comes from?
from the term slav
slavs are eastern europeans, that where origanally used as cheap slave labor.
but when the pope passed an edict stating, enslaving another christian = excommunication, the EUs had 2 comply.
so following the arabics, who btw, set up the "rules" for trading slaves.
they did what the arabs did, enslave africans.
first off:
thier strong
immune 2 american deseases
are not familiar with the american land scape like native americans
from a warlords point of view, the slave trade was a natural occuring matter for humans.
but as i said several times, people change humans change thier ideas change.
when they can no longer adapt they are destroyed by the very forces of nature.
chaotic.
evolution
so it doesnt matter if you agree or not, the african slave trade, no matter how crude ties in with evolution.
and its only white people, or black people not native to africa and its history that get troubled over the idea of slavery.
EUs were simply capitalizing on what warring tribes were doing 2 ea other.
