Hey so, if we’re having a discussion about AMERICAN slavery and u feel the need to mention the Arab slave trade in a discussion about AMERICAN slavery…ur trying to deflect from the point. Just fyi
This has the same energy as “actually Africans had slaves too and sold them to the US 🤓 “

Right like my ancestors in India were enslaved too I’ve literally been to an ancient market in the Middle East where Indian slaves from the region my family is from in India were sold and driven across the desert like camels shit was brutal But that’s halfway across the world and a completely different civilization

Deflection: a psychological defense mechanism where a person shifts blame, criticism, or focus away from themselves to avoid accountability or uncomfortable emotions. It’s not deflection, I told you many times I brought it up because it happens in the same time period and areas as the transatlantic slave trade

It was a deflection. Again, when discussing AMERICAN slavery there’s no reason to bring it up when talking about the effects of slavery in the US. So yes…yes u were deflecting as much as u wanna deny it. Like u brought up slavery in Africa out of the blue and focused on that point and ignored all my others. U were deflecting and still are

Again no it’s not. Where did American slavery originate from? The transatlantic slave trade, what was happening in the same continent? Another slave trade. It’s not out of the blue since the only way Africans got to the Americas is due to African tribes selling other tribes.

Western capitalism didn’t happen in the America till the 19th century. American slavery started in the 17th century. So, no it was not driven by capitalism. It was driven by goods of trade, since slavery was a form of trade.

No it’s not nuanced, there is no nuance to slavery. It happened, African tribes sold other tribes it that simple. Was it wrong and horrible? Yes, all slavery is wrong. No, it doesn’t negate anything what white people have done to black Americans. It doesn’t negate the fact that it’s the fault of the African tribes who sold other tribes into slavery. Just like the Arabic tribes selling Africans and treating them brutally.

I never asked why there’s slavery in Africa to this day, I said there is slavery in Africa to this day. No, it’s not due to western capitalism, since the practice existed way before western capitalism. It’s a culture norm and practices, it never stopped.

And that’s where ur wrong😬 u want to simplify and shift blame lmao. White Europeans started conflicts to fund the slave trade. They’d only trade supplies to fight wars they caused for enslaved ppl. Europe also forced many African nations to bring them enslaved ppl under threat of wiping out their civilization. It is VERY nuanced. 😭

The Europeans started the transatlantic slave trade, you’re right about that. Slavery pre existed that, since it started around 1500 BC. The practice never left Africa and still remains to this day. Yeah, every civilization did that, that’s why it was part of the trade. Slaves were traded for even spices and arts.

Slavery in Africa is funded by western capitalism. Slavery in the US was funded by an early form of capitalism. Like dude. Arguing that just because a system existed before another doesn’t mean that a new system can’t fund an old system. America for example still supports slavery via the prison system and out sources prison labor to private companies and or ppl in some cases because of capitalism…how is capitalism not funding slavery in that instance u fucking anglerfish 😭

Yes and no it was American slavery, majority of the slaves went to South America and the Caribbean to work on sugar, coffee and tobacco plantation. But they did go to North America too

Ok…that disproves my point fucking how? Western Capitalism still funds slavery in Africa and Asia to this day and saying “well that’s not true because slavery is old” isn’t a fucking argument. Hunting is also old asf…are u gonna argue that capitalism doesn’t fund the hunting of animals too?

No, it’s not. It’s still early practices from 1500 BC. Many parts of Africa have long lasting traditions that go all the way back to BC. I don’t think you quite understand about how cultural traditions work.

I don’t think yk how capitalism works…like tf? Slavery in Africa is funded by western capitalism. Just because it’s an old “tradition” or “system” doesn’t mean a newer system can’t take advantage of, profit, and fund it😭 hunting is one of the oldest human traditions are u gonna argue that capitalism doesn’t fund hunting in and outside of the US because hunting is an old tradition?

You said the prison system, which every country has a prison system that makes prisoners do hard labor. Acting like it only happens in a capitalist country is down right ignorant. The Soviet Union had gulags which are prison camps (communist country).

I didn't ask u to ss that...I asked to SS where I said prisons making prisoners do hard labor only done in the west. If I took a shot everytime u made a dumbass argument is be hella happy rn. Capitalist benefit from the resources that the enslaved ppl are forced to gather. For example, the Cobalt used to make the phones we're both on are on was mined from Africa by an enslaved person.

Yeah your liver can fail from drinking excessively. The liver functions as a primary filtration of the body. Apparently you don't know how the human body works. See the thing is it's not a capitalist thing when every country even non capitalist counties benefit from cobalt mining.
