In conclusion
Africans loved slavery
this statement is so stupid i dont know where to begin
If they didn't like it, then why did they willingly participate in it?
Norse isn't talking about the African tribe leaders who sold their captives. He's talking about the actual slaves who had to work in the plantations. To say that the slaves enjoyed working and being murdered and raped is such a stupid comment that I dont even understand how it could be reached in someone's mind in our modern society. And I quote:
Norse wrote:The modern day historians make out that slavery was an awful thing.
But they didn't tell you that the africans were happy to work for the capturers. A daily ration of a handful of nuts and grapes put a big smile back onto those rubbery lips....they were overjoyed by it.
It was kind of like a holiday camp for most of them.

Well...it's all so subjective isn't it...
let's be honest, who doesn't like to get raped?

EDIT: Actually, I'm not going to touch this one with a big long stick... I know we're all just joking, but somebody is probably going to get temp-banned for this. Glib witticism removed.

so true!
We can all focus our attention to the negatives, and we'd all end up like that emo-freak, cant remember his name....

Jehan wrote:^ now that is an interesting post, if the colonisation had not occurred then obviously Africa wouldn't be so bad now, but what if african countries had remained subservient to European powers?
Is it not likely that we would still have things like the apartheid?
I agree that we probably could have made the area a far better place by staying economically, but socially?
In order to uphold the notion of equality before the law, the imperial government(s) in Europe would have had to get rid of them. Economically, it is obivious that with a sample government that the employment and literacy rates would go up.

I normally don't mind Emo's, but when all they type is 'lol', then it does get abit fucking annoying. Damn Western-styled emos
Well, IMHO (not that I consider any of my opinons humble) Emo's are just another example of self-loathing.
In the same way that aussies get smashed about at cricket by yours truely, the emo's probably got smacked about at school.
well, IMHO some emos deserve to be emo, the ones that have had parents divorce or someone close to them die etc but everyone else is just a poser and is actually egotistical in a way, thinking that their problems are more important than anyone else's
Ok... I challenge you to read some form of real history before I reply any further.
let's be honest here...
modern day afro-americans are far better off than their "african-living" counterparts...
Slavery was an excellent idea.

Just to clarify, this is a joke right?

I would have loved to have been a slave.

cawck mongler wrote:Africa's only real great feat was Egypt, after Egypt lost power things went to shit. They did have a few well off trading countries on their coast, but those only survived as long as colonialism and the slave trade did. Once the slave trade was abolished, a main source of their revenue was gone and their economy collapsed. The colonial powers soon stepped in and with little resistance, took control of those countries and helped rebuild their economies.
Wow, just wow. You are the best ethnocentrist out there by far on this forum. To only measure what Africa is or was on European ideals is...disgraceful. Please go read about the Bantu, or read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe(sp?), or try to understand that centralized states institutionalize the worst acts of mankind. Besides how can you claim to oppose the corporations of today when it was entities like the Dutch East India Trading Company and others that the colonial governments relied on? The only difference between today and then is that the corporate powers are above governments; if you buy any consumer good then yes, you support the sweat shops. It is so arrogant to say "I never supported slavery, my ancestors never owned slaves." That's irrevelent if they reaped the benefits JUST AS WE ARE TODAY. SLAVERY IS NOT DEAD, STOP LYING TO YOURSELVES!
The best paradox I run into is how hard it is for "Westerners" to understand that the most free societies in history cannot be found in what they want.
