500 years ago. That would be in 1513. There were no Africans in Colonial America in 1513. There was no Colonial America in 1513. So whose Slave story is 500 years old?
Actually, the general African slave trade is more than 1,000 years old as it had been going strong for several centuries in the Muslim/Arab world before there was any European and American involvement. White folks were late comers.
Here is a link someone posted a few months back that discusses the full 1,400 years of the African slave trade, told mostly by African historians. You have to read subtitles, but it's well worth it for anyone interested in the subject.
The 500+ year old story of slavery goes to africans in africa who captured, sold and bought other blacks among themselves and muslims for a thousand years. They still do today.
Africa is and always has been a craphole, low end of the gene pool continent in which the various tribal factions warred among themselves. Millenia ago modern man walked out of africa and left the stupid behind.
They want to be africans, then deport them all back to the motherland and let them be real africans; for the hour or so before the real africans kill them for their money or sell them into slavery.
