sooo sad :-(

[optimatus]

How tragic that there are still people who are thinking in terms of inferiority of races. And it's also tragic that these people are showing their big mouth from behind a computer screen. Outside, their courage is pretty low.

@zjones1222 cont.2 If the Asantes are at war with its other clan members like Akyim, Kwahu, etc and the fantes, who controlled the coastal areas with the Brits then how the hell can an asante bring slaves to sell to the whiteman. The only truth that slip out of Gates mouth was the asantes wouldnt let the Brits come on their territory as a result they used the fantes and all the other tribes and even a regiments from their other british colonies in nigeria, benin, etc.

@zjones1222 cont. The Ga people in Ghana also come from whats today Nigeria. If they're the ones your claiming as Yoruba people maybe. And even the Akans withness their passage through their kingdom to the coastal region. They called them Nkrani "the soldier ants" because of the massive numbers ressembling on of ants. What Gates didn't say how many of the ashantis were captured and sold to the Americas by the help of Fantes,Ga,Ewe etc. Who fought along side the Brits to take Asantes down.

[Bergacquah]

@zjones1222 That is your assumption.The Yoruba Empire as acclaimed was actually "Yoruba Kingdoms" which consist of Yagba, Oyo, Benin, Ife, etc. It is recently that Yoruba consider themselves single. Note: Yoruba Empire fall only because they just like the Akans where fighting among themselves as well as native the settlers (civil war) thus depliction their numbers. They were killing and enslaving (prisoners of war) themselves just like the acclaimed Ashanti Empire was infact " Ashanti Kingdoms"

[zjones1222]

@Bergacquah You didn't notice from the beginning of documentary 1of6 where Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. visited the Ashanti relatives revisting the fate of the those in the Empire of that time. Yoruba people became mostly transatlantic slaves because their empire lost power to the rise of the Ashanti Empire . The Ashanti took over that region hence the reason Oyo helped in rounding up people from the interior. Britian didn't go into the bush because they didn't know the territory.

@zjones1222 I checked the video out as you suggested but It still didn't answer your claims that ashantis enslaved yoruba people rather is the benin kings that enslave, sacrifice and sold your people. What that documentary don't explain is who were the prisoners of war that ashantis sold. They were their own clan members in the Akan family because they were fighting themselves. Fantes sold asantes,asantes sold fantes and so on

@KingsleyEnnis1 You have no real place in this world an especially not on youtube the only one whining is those Niggers who created that word. What does that tell you about your damn self nigger?

[KingsleyEnnis1]

Listen up, all you whining NIGGERS. You should all get down on your knees and thank the white man for enslaving your ancesters. Why, you ask ? You are able to read my words and are using a computer.. If not for the white man,  you would now be swinging from the nearest tree in ASSFRICA, looking for bananas, or watermelon or WHATEVER. Think about and thank a white person today !!
