Well, if they are of Caribbean extract, they sure do. The Brits instituted slavery in the Americas.
*** the various African tribes seized the opportunity to rid themselves of troublesome and criminal elements.***
This is true. I read, years ago, after the African chiefs supplied their captives, they then got rid of local tribesmen who might be classed as tribal troublemakers and village idiots sending them to the Americas as slaves.
BLM, occupy, antifa, are all the same. Neo-communist demonstrations designed to get the underclass to rise up against their “oppressors.”
Not exactly.
Mostly Muslims seized the opportunity to rid themselves of non-Muslims and make a profit. They raided whole populations inland.
Though occasionally they would grab one of their guys if there wasn’t enough for a full load.
Same as built Timbuktu’s and Mali’s wealth. Only it seems likely that a higher percentage died being marched across the desert than ever on ships.
The people they kidnapped were not criminals. They lived in the countryside.
The criminal class in Africa was doing the exporting, not being exported.
... now “progressives” want to import more of that historical criminal class....
Ever notice how whites always start a riot when a white criminal dies in the course of police interaction, because they - somehow - identify with that criminal and take it personal?
Nope, me neither. I usually think good riddance, another scumbag off the street.
