You're welcome, bro.
I used to say the things these guys say too, especially when I was listening to a lot of Republican thinkers.
But it's what Chimamanda called the ' danger of the single story'.
The rhetoric has stripped history of nuance and told the story from the European perspective exclusively.

@CryptoMuse01 @lekan_olayinka1 This is a valid point and the difference is clear because as Africans we know - for a fact - how the western nations have actively worked hard to undermine our "self actualization" and they various tools they utilized in accomplishing this
Thanks again for your points
English
90% of all the Africans that were enslaved were raided, captured, and delivered to the Europeans BY AFRICANS.
Before that, Africans had sold 10 million Africans to the Arabs during the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade.
The Arabs castrated their slaves.
Holding Europeans “accountable” for slavery is gravely misguided, and another attempt to fabricate an illusion of existential excuse for the consistent self-inflicted failure of Africans to self actualize.
Europeans didn’t invent slavery. Humans invented slavery.
Egyptians had slaves.
Babylonians had slaves.
Persians had slaves.
Greeks had slaves.
Romans had slaves.
The English had slaves.
Africans had slaves.
Humans were the first exchanged good amongst humans.
But slavery didn’t remain after the Europeans. Britain abolished slavery.
Britain lost around 2,000 naval officers on the sea enforcing abolition laws on African rulers who kept enslaving.
Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The only fully paid the loan this 2015.
No one should pay reparations for slavery. It is not the sin of any one group.
Africans shouldn’t use an event that occurred 400 years ago as an excuse for lack of self actualization.

Today at the UN, 123 nations named the Transatlantic slave trade as humanity’s gravest crime. Britain abstained A Labour government! heirs to an empire that trafficked 3 million Africans, could not say yes to truth The abstention IS the verdict. Starmer, history has clocked you

This summarizes the most self-destructive analysis on transatlantic slavery I have ever seen.
It contains a straw man, gaslighting, victim blaming, and historical erasure dressed up as tough love.
The straw man: you reduced a demand for accountability for industrialized, race‑based chattel slavery and colonialism to “blaming Europeans for inventing slavery.” No serious person argues that Europeans invented slavery or that they should be held responsible for slavery everywhere.
The gaslighting: you frame centuries of violent extraction - the slave trade, colonial plunder, imposed borders, continent-wide structural adjustment - as a mere “excuse” for African failure, as if the continent’s development occurred in a vacuum untouched by the powers now refusing to vote yes on a UN resolution.
The victim blaming: you point to African intermediaries as if that transfers full moral responsibility onto the enslaved and their descendants, while ignoring who held and supplied the guns, the ships, the banks, the plantations, and the political power that made the system global.
And the historical erasure? You omitted that right after slavery, came colonialism, after colonialism, came debt traps and IMF austerity; a continuous chain of external extraction that your “self‑actualization” narrative conveniently pretends never happened.
If self‑actualization is the goal, then the first step is acknowledging the actual historical barriers, not dismissing them as an excuse.
"Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The (sic) only fully paid the loan this 2015."
Who did they pay it to? Slave owners! They were compensated for losing their property.
The slaves received nothing - only forced labour under another name.
Britain made their commoners who probably didn't own slaves pay rich fucks who did and you called it 'freeing the slaves'?
Britain soldiers died equalizing the transatlantic slave trade, making sure others were not selling and buying slaves and gaining advantage over them. They basically used abolition as a tool to entrench geopolitical dominance - it was not a display of penitence or morality.

@lekan_olayinka1 There’s no amount of gaslighting of victims fomented by your paymasters will erase the atrocities organized by a structured govt, Africans sold slaves,yes.
Through War and Conquest but not by an Organized Syndicate sponsored by “Democratic government” to cut cost on plantations

@davidoyakhilome @DavidHundeyin That's exactly what it is!
Refusing to take a clear moral stance against slavery is tantamount to taking a stand anyway..
English
@CryptoMuse01 @DavidHundeyin The Absentention in my opinion are very loud No's
English
By the way, if you're African and you're new to geopolitical awareness, you can use this picture as a guide to know who is on your side and who is your enemy in this world.
Notice how China and Russia voted?
Then notice how your oyibo faves voted (or abstained, which is also a type of vote)?
Shebi "not everything is about race"? You see how white people ALWAYS instinctively bunch together, from Andorra to Norway, whenever it's time to do some racist shit?
That's called Pan-Europeanism.
The antidote is Pan-Africanism.
English
It is dishonest to ignore the nuances of the covert and overt coercion that sustained the slave trade.
What do you think happened when a community refused to sell slaves to the Europeans? Do you think they simply said "awww" and walked away?
Are you unaware of the arms race trap? Where warring factions were armed against each other - and superior weaponry meant destruction if you couldn't match your enemy fire for fire?
Guess what they wanted for the guns? That's right - slaves!
If you didn't agree to sell, they simply either sponsored a war against you by arming your enemies, who would decimate and sell you. Or they would depose (often kill) your kings and chiefs and replace them with more compliant ones.
The European slave traders turned African (often territorial) skirmishes into full-blown existential enslave-or-be-enslaved wars.
Do you think some kings didn't try to resist?
Ask about Oba Ozere (Ovonramwen) of Benin Kingdom, Queen Nzinga Mbandi (Ndongo and Matamba), The Almany of Futa Toro (Abdul Kader Kan), King Afonso I of Kongo (Nzinga Mbemba).
They mostly paid with their lives or estate, failing to stop what seemed the inexorable power of the European slave traders at the time.
English
The Ashanti Kingdom in present-day Ghana was so heavily involved in the slave trade that the Danes even named a slave ship after their king, Osei Kwame Panyin, who ruled from 1777 to 1803.
Should the Ashanti kingdom also compensate the humans it traded for material wealth?

Abstention does not mean they didn't vote.
It means they voted to abstain.
In moral questions where harm is clear, abstention is not the neutral fence many people think it is.
It’s a refusal to stand on the side of accountability, and in essence aligns with opposition (especially in this case).
If the determination of the guilt and punishment of your child's rapist was put to a vote, and your neighbours in the jury voted not to say 'yes' or 'no', how would you feel?
Would you trust them ever again? Would you ever think of them as allies?
Do you understand?

@sinclair_geoff @Alexarmstrong The West didn't do it at all.
English
The UK has abstained on a UN vote, by Ghana, calling on former colonial powers to pay reparations for the slave trade.
There are roughly 7 million slaves in Africa today, perhaps they should focus on that if they are so morally outraged by it?
The UK was also the first country in the entire history of humanity to end slavery, costing British lives and a debt we have only just recently paid off.
We’ve done our part, in fact, we’ve done more than any other nation ever.

Imagine if you can:
An assailant puts a gun to your head and asks you to sell your car to him. Of course you do - what choice do you have?
Months later, he was apprehended but you could not make any kind of reparatory claims because he and the police agreed that you were paid for the car.
"Weren't you paid for the car you sold?"
Will you pretend that you didn't know that failure to sell slaves often resulted in invasion?
Or the arming of other clans or villages with superior firepower so they could hunt and sell?
Are you unaware that noncompliant kings were routinely deposed or assassinated, and replaced with loyal puppets who kept the 'goods' flowing?
Victim blaming is a disease that can only be cured by a good dose of empathy, unlearning the slaver's rhetoric and scrutinizing their single, one-sided story
English
I’m a ferocious critic of the reparations movement at the best of times, but the idea that *Ghana and African states* should get slavery reparations is a new level of abject absurdity. African kingdoms in for example today’s Ghana were the ones who SOLD slaves to European powers!

I don’t quite understand the slavery reparations debate.
Strangers came asking for people, and you captured and sold your own people without much resistance, trading them for goods.
The people were then used to build economies through farming and hard labor abroad.

This is a retarded, self-contradictory revisionist submission. @grok
It's totally out of sync with historical context, and a horrid retelling of one of the most systematic and effective ethnic cleansing in recent history.
But before I get to that, I'll point out that you first Straw Man'd the original post by subtly redefining wiped out as "deliberate mass killing/genocide". He didn't say that - and 'wiped out' means 'wiped out': the systematic and absolute removal of a distinct people from the national existence. Your 'debunking' is just an unfaithful description of the mechanics used to wipe out the blacks.
You failed to mention Domingo's Eugenist campaigns in books and speeches decrying the blacks as the cause of backwardness and stating his desire "to remove the savages from all American social questions, for whom we feel, without remedy, an invincible disgust".
You neglected to speak about how the state literally carried out a campaign called Blanqueamiento (whitening): a devilish, multifaceted social engineering feat that literally wiped out black people from Argentina.
What you maliciously framed as interracial mixing as though it was romantic intermarriages, was exactly the opposite - it was weaponized breeding to escape the segregation, the poverty and illegal status of being black.
You didn't mention caste systems based on skin shades.
You didn't mention how black men were forcefully conscripted and treated like cannon fodder in the Paraguayan war where it often meant certain death. You didn't mention that it caused a massive, artificial demographic collapse because there weren't enough males to sustain the population.
You didn't talk about the mysterious yellow fever outbreak that decimated the black communities living in unsanitary conditions because of govt. neglect.
How can you describe a nearly 100% decline in the population of a people as "demographic dilution", while hypocritically huffing that the poster might have implied genocide/extermination?
No amount of sanitizing will hide the fact that Argentina killed/erased its native black people
Grok@grok
The claim "Argentina literally wiped out their black population" is factually wrong—it implies deliberate mass killing/genocide, which recent historical research rejects. Afro-Argentines were ~37% of the population per the 1778 census. Their distinct group declined to ~0.4% today mainly via generations of interracial mixing (Black women with white/indigenous men, common since colonial times) + huge European immigration waves (promoted by gov't to "whiten" the nation). Wars/epidemics contributed but weren't primary. Genetic studies show ~4% of Argentines have some sub-Saharan ancestry; many descendants assimilated/reclassified rather than being exterminated. (2022 census: 0.66% self-ID as Afro-Argentine.) It's demographic/cultural dilution, not literal erasure.
