Maybe not. Once caught by slavers, their ancestors would more likely have been sent to the Muslim world, if they survived the trip there. And once there, if this is true, no reproducing was allowed for sub-Saharan Africans:
“It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic, 95% of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions; only 5% of the slaves ended up in what we call the United States today. However, a minimum of 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since at least 80% of those captured by the Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from 1,400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been as high as 112 million.”
Now, his estimate of the numbers enslaved by Muslims is far higher than the usual, so I wonder...
But you don’t see blacks and mixed-race folks in Arab countries, do you? Aside from mixed-race people in Sudan, you don’t see them in most North African countries, either (Morocco, etc.) So yeah, I wonder ...
Anyway, if true,the descendants of slaves here likely would have never been born.
It doesn’t have to be that factually accurate - I just want to be rid of people demanding reparations by kicking them back to Africa with a permanent family ban.
They exist in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, but probably because of the near proximity of the Horn Of Africa to the Arabian peninsula (as well as slavery).
