SLAVERY IN AFRICAN SOCIETIES

The new attack on African history manifests itself in blame reassignment and statistical downsizing. Blame reassignment refocuses on African and Arab slavery. The problem this posses is authentic study is often masked with political objectives; whether these objectives are Islamaphobia, Anti-African, European supremacy or African supremacy. The issue is the detraction from factual research that seeks to explore the full dynamic of slavery. But equally unacceptable is the denial syndrome some African reactionary academics have employed. Honesty cannot be a one-way mirror. African history needs to be studied both as an experiment in contemporary sociology and as a historical discourse as to study one is by default to study the other. this video is part of the bonus scenes from Owen 'Alik Shahadah award winning film 500 Years Later (www.500yearslater.com), produced by M.K. Asante,Jr.

@unonifig You have no right to be hurt by a people that have no concern for you but are more concerned about their help. Everyone needs help but it only amounts to the way people are treated. Arabs introduced the African to slavery so Arabs must end slavery officially never again will I have to admit buying anything else from an Arab which are truely more currupt than white man hiding the fact that they continue to enslave African and out right lie that they are the true Egyptians.

Arab Berber lieing scum devil must be the root of all evil hidden as the real Anti-Christ it is so obvious he is one which writes in his book that Christ is just a prophet. He is the slave owner in the Sudan and he introduced slavery to Africa in the 7th and 8th century pushing his stupid religion and murderous violent temper on African women and selling the men as cattle. No Arab is a friend of mine my friend they are the scum of the earth.

African Sold each into African even to this day, to Arab,Turk, Berber,Persians continue now in Darfur in Sudan more blacks where taking to Middle East. where them were killed to dead little surviver today, the Arab just rider African village. leaving nothing in trade. The European just barter with the African to rider each other, for European Manufacturer Goods on the coasts little or No European Riders on the African Coasts.

but we all know that arabs are bad ppl knowing what they did. am sorry to say this but if arabs enslave ppl who who copy their cultures i don't mind alot cos ifs its allowed in the moslem religion to make other races slaves then why should ppl be moslems? God does not allow that chose the right reliogion whch does not permit slave trade if not they should not claim

[unonifig]

but i blame arabs more cos arabs begun slave trade whites are hypocrites they did alot of bad things indirectly. but nowdays they blame us that we sold our own ppl to slavery it hurts me so much

There is also one thing they always want to let pple know they never mention capturing slaves in their writings they only say buying slaves as if they never participated in capturing it isn t truth if u take thecase of colonialism, the whites conquered africa themselves by going physicaly in every country of africa doing wars with m coz not all part accepted their presence so was slavery too whites organized "razzia" to deny it isn good history also certain africans were with m.

[unonifig]

yeah your right. but why are ppl jelousy of us? they stole our ppl and now they are trying to say that Afrom Americans are not Africans i hate it. history repeats itself no matter how hard they can try, they can never change our roots

i agree black of american countinent re pure african they even have physical features with african.just as whites in america re european if u look carefuly u find links in cultures.black of america have extended family tedency than whites. they mostly live with their grand parents and take care of them. they rarely accept nursing homes as whites do.they re easily good at music.they know their history very well who can tell they re not from africa? some great leaders even fought to free africa

if youdeny that the black of america did not move in america in wlole family, it is not fair the whites had two ways of acquiring slaves 1 by capturing 2 by trading with certain chiefs.if black of america are not african it means their relativs back in africa are not african because children were captured at random and sepated to their families by force. not all a whole family was captured coz some escaped to the"razzia"

[saharianboy]

do you know that black people of soudan are suffring because of the cour of their skin?
