Are modern Nigerian/Congolese slave owner's descendants?

[Chris596]

It's possible but I guess this is not a big deal anymore, if I were African-American I wouldn't show hatred towards my ancestors, maybe it's just me but I think this is how average people think about it.

Btw is there a member on this forum who would help me to rediscover my Somali roots?

I agree with that, but if black movements blame current whites for what colonizers did (even tho I believe nowaday most whites in new world are of immigrant heritage, not colonizers), they shouldn't be africanists either

I am starting to wonder: were they really enslaved for being blacks? or it would be harder to catch other people such as undeveloped/peasants europeans/arabs/north africans bcs they had strong ways to deffend themselves? I mean logistically it would be easier

Also how much $$ dominant african tribes used to sell them? Barter maybe?

Bold, of course not. Slavery was normal all over the continent. The N. Africans started trading with the King of Mali long before Europeans got involved. How much $$ did they make, who knows.

Yes but those who stayed are more likely to be from the same dominant tribe, I mean most nigerians are yorubas and hausas today, they historically enslaved igbos



I believe they shouldn't accept it, afaik western whites already recognize their mistakes, even so they still talk about their debt to black people

Yorubas and Hausas were also enslaved

Yes, partly.
What would attacking modern day SSA serve? much of the complaints levied at European colonisation isn't just the slavery, but also the terrible colorist system that accompanied it which was also followed by oppressions generations even after it was banned until today. As for SSA they mostly live in a destitute state, are powerless and have almost zero influence/impact culturally, economically and politically on colonial blacks.
