@Gforcer80 It was capitalism that introduced chattel-slavery. "In the welter of philosophical arguments for and against the slave trade, the one cogent and inescapable argument in favor of it is easily hidden: in spite of its risks, illegality, and blighted social status, slave trading was enormously profitable. Despite the popular assertion that free labor was cheaper, the price of slaves continued to go up and to compensate for the risks of the trade."

@Gforcer80 Slaves in earlier times enjoyed social and individual rights - like marriage, freedom to raise a family, speak their language and worship their gods, rights which were denied the African slaves exported to the Americas. Africans captured and taken into the new world were stripped of all their personality and humanity - they could not even bear their own names.

@Gforcer80 In older times, slaves were not regarded as properties of their masters, manumission was possible and occurred frequently. Since slaves in those days were generally captured soldiers, they're treated humanely, because the possibility always existed that a military or spiritual giant could arise from their tribe and turn the tide in their favor. Moses was such a figure.

@Gforcer80 To those who said Africans benefit ted from slavery and colonialism, one can argue, with the same [twisted] logic, that the countries conquered by Nazis also enjoyed the fruits of Nazism. We can say that Holland, which was conquered and oppressed by German Nazis, also benefited from their forced oppression.We can argue that the French, the Belgian,and the Dutch people who were forced into labor camps also benefited! This manner of thinking is, of course, simply outrageous.

@Gforcer80 I shall try to put slavery in proper historical perspectives, and show how the chattel slavery introduced by capitalism differs from all other forms of slavery. To those who said Africans benefit ted from slavery and colonialism, one can argue, with the same [twisted] logic, that the countries conquered by Nazis also enjoyed the fruits of Nazism. We can say that Holland, which was conquered and oppressed by German Nazis, also benefited from their forced oppression.

@Gforcer80 European slave trade was a three continent industry that brought about a revolution in maritime science, international trade and a system of mercantilism that had not previously existed in world history. No Africans had this kind of international contact or were in a position to establish it at this juncture in history.

@Gforcer80 CAN U PLEASE BRING SOME DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT YOUR RHETORIC? SECOND SLAVERY COMES FROM THE WORD SLAV SO SLAVERY STARTED WITH EUROPEANS ENSLAVING EUROPEANS.THIRD You cannot explain the slave trade and vindicate or rationalize the European participation in the slave trade by saying some Africans were in the slave trade and sold slaves to the Europeans.

@create4self1 you ignorant twat. africans had slaves before white men even arrived. Black on black...sound familiar? You racist twats want to believe every white person is evil because you can't handle the fact that Africans, Arabs, and all other races were far less developed than white Europeans. You and your savage ancestors are only alive because white intelligence allowed you to be. Sorry if the truth hurts. move on.

@Gforcer80 BULLSHIT AFRICANS DIDNT SELL AFRICANS TO EUROPEANS 4 GUNS (1) DIVIDE AND CONQUER WAS USED, (2) THE OTHER AFRICANS WAS FORCED AT GUNPOINT. U FORGOT THE ARABICS ENSLAVED AFRICANS FIRST SO THE ARABS AND ARABICNIZED AFRICANS WERE THE ONES INVOLVED AND THAT DON'T EXCUSE EUROPEANS 4 THEIR BEHAVIOR! IF OTHER NATIONS LIKE EUROPE, AND ARABIC NATIONS WAS ALL GOOD THEN WHY WERE THEY N ANOTHER MANS COUNTRY (AFRICA) CAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE SHIT WITHOUT AFRICANS THEN AND NOW JUST GO HOME!
