| African slaves were not taken freely from Africa. They were sold to Europeans. Bad business decision by African leaders (a huge portion of the childbearing African population was taken as slaves, thus impeding Africa's development). |
The point is there are no slaves in real time in the free world.
In the USA alone, the most destitute live better by far than those who crossed the ocean in the 18th and 19th century. Reparations is nothing but a means to convince people that are content with life to give to those who are not content.
Those who have had slaves and willingly promoted such are long dead.
They were fighting and enslaving each other before the west arrived, and they are still doing it today. Maybe they would be more advanced, maybe they would have killed each other. There is no proof either way. Just speculation. Theory.
Bullshirt. Africa has nearly a billion people. Three times as many as North America. More than are in all of Europe. More than are in the North and South American continents combined.
Not to insult you, I’m just pointing out that there’s a LOT of people on the African continent. Of course it’s geographically larger than Europe, but still...
