If not for whites other ethnics would still use them as slaves.

Black miscers, where is the gratitude?

Low value white male detected.

Good point srs

Where are our reparations for letting go of the slaves? This isn’t fair

white people DID receive reparations for letting go of their slaves. It was called Compensated Emancipation.

Frk where’s my cut? I demand cut in present day from the payday my ancestors wrought. I could have slaves to this day but yet I do not.

Is that just? No.

If the reparations need to come from the blacks chains and rims fund it be and let there be justice.

Being opposed to slavery was a white invention. And then there was a period of around 200 years where the only people opposed to slavery were white. And the UK dedicated so much money and military life to using its navy to shut down the international slave trade.

These are just historical facts.

I disagree with OP about blacks showing gratitude. People of every race have been slaves, and people of every race have been slaver sellers and slave owners.

But whites were actively stopping slavery, other ethnics like arabs and other asians were (and still are) using slaves.

When will BLM acknowledge the fact whites stopped their slavery?

joking aside it kinda sucks that virtually every demographic disenfranchised by the US was compensated in some way by the US government except for black americans. Now, I already know what you're going to say next;"welfare should count because so many blacks are on government assistance"well, welfare is an income based stipend that anyone can qualify for and pertains to financial hardship, not a restitution by being wronged by the government.

Anyone of any race who doesn't like slavery should be thanking the people and the country who ended most of it, and those people were all white.

But it's not like slavery, as a worldwide phenomenon that lasted all of human history, was one not race against another. It was everyone against everyone. For every black person suffering because they were sold into slavery there was another black person benefiting by selling that person into slavery.

You're forgetting that even Black kingdoms in Africa had Blacks as slaves from neighboring territories/kingdoms. They even made a movie about it but replaced the Blacks with Whites. Can't even admit their own group practiced slavery.

Did Dahomey trade slaves?
Both domestic slavery and the Atlantic slave trade were important to the economy of Dahomey. Men, women, and children captured by Dahomey in wars and slave raids were sold to European slave traders in exchange for various goods such as rifles, gunpowder, textiles, cowry shells, and alcohol.

https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk...om-of-dahomey/

-The foundational king of the Kingdom of Dahomey is often considered Houegbadja (c.1645-1685) who built the Royal Palaces of Abomey and began raiding and taking over towns outside of the Abomey plateau. At the same time, the slave trade began increasing in size in the coastal region through the Kingdom of Whydah and Allada and trade with the Portuguese, Dutch, and British.

-The Dahomey Kingdom became known to European traders at this time as a major source of slaves in the slave trade at Allada and Whydah.

- By the end of Agaja’s reign, the Kingdom of Dahomey occupied significant area, particularly the crucial coastal slave trade cities.

-At the same time, the empire continued slave raids throughout the region and became a major supplier to the Atlantic slave trade. In the late 18th century, Oyo put pressure onto Dahomey to reduce its participation in the slave trade (largely to protect its own slave trade) and Dahomey complied by limiting some of the slave trade. However, even with this, the empire was a significant player in the slave trade supplying up to 20% of the total slave trade and providing the largest portion of revenue for the king.

Africans still own slaves to this day. Their own people.

We even gave them their own country after slavery ended, it's called Liberia. Look at how that turned out. It's home to the poorest slum on earth.

Resident Blacks seething.

They’re in America instead of living in a slum in Africa where the greatest technological advancement in thousands of years is a sharp stick or a mega poverty knockoff of an automobile.

They can have clean water instead of dying of some parasitic infection, that’s reparations enough. I just wish they’d go back srs(no racist)

Let's face it, if blacks could have made whites slaves, they would have. It's not like they didn't do it because they were morally superior, just dumber so inferior arms so no chance of winning. Same with Red Indians and Abbos.

Yup, brutal black pill.

Them trying to act morally superior is the biggest farce of all

Now, my time shows this thread was made at 4am. Now I understand you may be west coast, so you could have made this at 1 am.

At 1am on a Tuesday, you're making more threads like this. SAD!

OP supports Ukraine and makes posts like this. Nuff said.

Implying I'm american.

Also are you happy the white man freed your people from slavery bro?

I'm pro Ukraine and against slavery, you mad bro?

Shouldn't it be reversed? Gratitude towards blacks for being slaves?

Pirates were actually where freed slaves would show appreciation towards. Pirates would intercept slave ships because they wanted the gold and another ship to add to their fleet and many times the freed slaves were given a chance to join their crew, where many of them did join.

Granted they're a whole continent away, so it would be pretty difficult to go back home...they did setup freed settlements in the carribean though

Funny thing is, they would have been better off remaining slaves given the state of their culture and their whiny victims mentality.

Perpetually creating crime and violence wherever they go and never being productive as a racial group to society is indicative of this.

Lmao when will the abused be grateful the abuser stopped the abuse?

Strong devil may cry avatar

But srs imagine being ni gg er culture and not being grateful that you were once not the leading cause of crime and poor ****s cuz your culture is a ****ing embarrassment that should be wiped off the earth with extreme prejudice.

Look at Africa. What kind of technological advancements have they made in the last 1000 years?

Oh the mud hut?

Then shut the **** up and accept that under Massa’s control that your life is better you dumb fking ni gg er.

A tiny percentage of white slave owners being compensated (less than 2%) =/= 'white people' being compensated and it was a very different time. The irony being that most white people of the slave era were poor, and oppressed by the same people who kept slaves, yet the white ancestors of oppressed peasants who never had slaves are the ones apparently being held accountable for it. Slavery was and always has been a class issue at its core, not a race issue, which is why you find all kinds of people enslaved in all kinds of nations throughout history. In this case, where's my reparations for the hardship my barbarian ancestors suffered under the Roman empire? Or the ottomans? Or the vikings? Or the French? How about the ancestors of the messenians(/helots) who's entire population was enslaved by Sparta for 400 years? Slavery actually hurt a lot of the peasant population (including many whites) by taking job opportunities. This is a problem going all the way back to Rome, where quotas were introduced as to how many slaves there could be in Rome, because there was no earning potential for the working class.

It was the way of the world, there are very few objective truths in life even though modern people like to pretend there are, and there's no 'objective truth' that slavery was wrong (in my opinion, based on my value judgements it is wrong, but that's not the point). Slavery was seen as a right over the conquered, and those were simply the values of those times. The world is not static, and neither is society and values change, and there's a good chance in 200 years we'll look back and think many of our practices were abhorrent. The idea of punishing someone in 2023, for something a tiny percentage of their race did 150+ years ago, and was culturally accepted at the time is really quite ludicrous (and low key racist), and will do absolutely nothing to help race relations (let's face it, it's going to make them much worse). Majority of people don't care nor have been affected by slavery in 2023, they just see the opportunity for a meal ticket. (i mean who doesn't want a free million dollars in their pocket to be fair..)

I am sorry that slavery happened, and that people went through it (srs), but i don't think reparations (especially at the tax payers expense, when it's likely he descended from a peasant who didn't partake in slavery) are a tenable solution that will help relations between races at all, and will only make things worse (recession and thus lowering the value of the money anyway, worse racial relations etc), and i highly doubt that even after reparations, this would be the end of hearing about slavery.

Also worth noting Britain led the way to ending slavery in 1807, nearly 60 years before USA did. Despite my views on this, i'll admit this thread is simply race baiting which is unfortunate.

If you aren't, that's even sadder.

There were black slave owners. There were many Irish slaves. There's a high likelihood that black plantation owners owned Irish slaves.

Shouldn't the Dutch jews who actually ran the slave trade be the ones paying the reparations?

Hard to be morally superior when your race kills itself for growing up on the wrong street or wearing the wrong color.

huge if true

I’ll start. Thank you white people srs. Because if you I’m not fighting some war in Africa
