Answer: About 10,000,000 (10 million) Africans were sent to the Americas (North America, South America and the Caribbean). Only about 500,000 (five hundred thousand) ended up in the United States and 4,000,000 (4 million) were sent to Brazil. An unknown but very large number died during the voyage across the Atlantic.
But even one was one too many...
What difference does it make?
And George didn't chop down a cherry tree either.
“......historians pointed out that it was probably never used for that purpose at all.”
So, this is just another faux photo moment in the lives of our masters.
Here, I’ll lead the chant.
Ok, all together now; “JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP.....”
Yes, he picked the wrong venue on the wrong side of Africa. Around 17 million Africans were sent to the Arab/Muslim world as slaves over 14 centuries, with Zanzibar being one of the more active departure points. The European/American involvement in slavery lasted about three or four centuries and the Europeans were largely responsible for ending most of the African slave trade.
Obama could have covered many more centuries of the slave trade which involved many more slaves in east Africa where some slavery is still practiced.
What are your sources for the 10,000,000 figure? I’ve heard leftists claim that amount, but I’ve also heard Prof. Adams of Howard University demolish it into oblivion (He studied the ships’ manifests and delivery receipts of the Spanish and Portuguese slavers, among others).
Blacks and Arabs (Islamists) put negros into slavery.
Fake but accurate.
I don’t think there is such a thing as a “good place” for the descendant of slave sellers to make a speech against slavery.
I suspect nary a word about the Black Africans who caught and sold the slaves initially?
Here is a link to a video someone posted a couple of months ago which presents a more complete history of African slavery, highlighting the 1,400 years the Arab/ Muslim world was involved, and also the roles of Elite Africans who captured their fellow blacks and sold them to the Arab slavers. Worth the time for anyone interested in the subject.

It’s what globalism was doing back then.
Globalism has slaves today, they’re just in dead-end low-paying jobs or in debt or both.
Certain people visiting a nearby historic mansion speak of visiting the “slave quarters” as they walk to the utility out-building (a kitchen) or down to the basement (dairy and wine cellar).
Our Pres...ent is a buffoon!
Guess he did not watch 'Roots'.
Who practices slavery today — other than Muslims?
As I recall there was an article before 2008 pointing out that Obama’s father was from a particular tribe in Africa that was known to have captured Africans and sold them to slave traders selling slaves to the American continent and to Arabs in the north who came south buying.
Historians keep messing with Obama, some of them claimed that he may have been making up his story about the 1965 Selma March resulting in his parents deciding to marry and bear him.
According to the anti-Obama historians, a 1965 event cannot result in giving your parents the hope to bear you, if you were already born back in 1961.
The island is too small and that facility is too small to sustain that many extra people for longer than a few days. The island is a favorite tourist site though. Beautiful church and 2 or 3 good restaurants. Abundant souvenir markets. Bush, Clinton, even the Pope stopped in.
What does it have to do with him?
He has no slaves in his ancestry. On the contrary, the Dunhams probably had a slave or two in their past.
His legacy is one of slave traders and owners, as we all know about his father’s family (well, who we think is his father).
Guilt trip yourself, clown. My family shot at each other at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg over the issue. Your people weren’t even in the fight.
