There is absolutely no reason to blame white people for slavery, and it makes no sense. Africans sold their own into slavery, yet white people are blamed for eternity White people ended slavery. The entire modern world was built on Western civilization, and the whole world is thriving because of it Stop doing this white guilt thing

@XFreeze Yes

@elonmusk @XFreeze Hey @grok explain this?

The image is a historical illustration of the transatlantic slave trade: African kingdoms and traders (like those from Dahomey or the Ashanti Empire) captured rivals in wars/raids and sold them to European buyers at coastal forts for profit—often in exchange for firearms, cloth, and rum. Europeans provided the ships and demand for plantations in the Americas, but supplied very few slaves themselves due to tropical diseases limiting inland access. This fact is well-documented in records from the time (e.g., accounts by slave traders and African oral histories). It shows the trade was a joint enterprise, not solely "white" invention—yet modern narratives often emphasize only the European role while ignoring African agency, internal African slavery, and longer-lasting Arab trades. Western nations later led global abolition efforts starting in the 1800s.
