biggest library in the world during mansa musas reign.

 

Europeans - (west Europeans) or whites in general , Africa - sub Saharan Africa or the whole continent?

 

Real history is indeed more mature than viewing it through selective moralistic lenses based on fantasy, yes. Europeans are more evil than other peoples is rather childish and racist .

 

i asked you about T economy , what was the T´s powerhouse?

 

We did, and there was an active London Transport recruitment drive in the West Indies.

 

european and afrikan

 

We didn't force anything and, contrary to what you say, white farmers felt betrayed because Britain was opposed to UDI. Rhodesia, under Ian Smith, was the driver for independence. The Unilateral Declaration of Independence by Rhodesia was Rhodesia's decision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia's_Unilateral_Declaration_of_Independence

 

agreed. you are looking at it as a european from a eurocentric perspective. this is the problem

education.

 

Nothing I said was 'eurocentric', just pointing out your historical narrative is just made up. Reality is a lot grayer and full of uncomfortable facts that just won't fit into what people wish to cram it into. No Africans seem bothered by their slave pasts, no Muslims, no Chinese, no Indians, no South Americans, no native Americans, etc. That's because nobody is going to get any money out of them; they would just laugh in the faces of such requests. Reparations scams are only discussed in terms of whites and rich white countries; see a pattern there? It's called racism, dreaming up shakedown scams against modern whites for 'crimes' they never committed by inventing bogus 'histories' and stereotypes.

 

wrong, slavery for sure ...

 

name few deferences between Punic and European slavery and colonization

 

asking the white man his opinion on reparations is like asking the wolf if he owes the sheep an apology - his opinion is unnecessary as he is no position to give one
i am NOT for reparations, btw

 

i am litvin and i a white man , do i own you something ? if yes, for what and why ?

 

did you read my second sentence ? i am NOT for reparations. i just don't think the white man is in any position to have an opinion on it.

 

So you refute it by saying 'your history is made up'

nice one stresser

excellent counter argument. the ultimate rebuttal, ill remember that one. 'you are wrong and iam right so there!!!!!!'

haha.

whatever makes you feel warm and cosy sir.

actually it was a combination of education and mining. slavery only in your wet dreams.

 

Ah well, then we need to repeal those anti-slavery laws passed by opinionated whites, then. they have no position to have such opinions.

 

That is racist, what does the colour of a mans skin effect whether he should have an opinion on the matter or not? This is the exact same as a white man saying blacks can't do certain things.

 

any link?

 

Yes, there was a London Transport recruitment office in Kingston, Jamaica.

we don't need permission to end injustice like slavery - anyone who is pro-slavery has already outed themselves as deserving of death.

 

No one said Islam would have conquered the whole continent. What would they do with it, since developing land is not exactly an Islamic forte. They are only interested in what has been cultivated and developed.

As for the European traders, they just wanted to make money, so they bought whatever was profitable on the market. They had no qualms, if they didn't buy them someone else would have. The point I was trying to make is, had the slaves not been sold to the European slave traders, they would have either been killed, that is if they were captives in war, or sold on the Ottoman slave blocks.

Yes the slaves suffered on the ships coming over and on the plantations later on, and I'm sure they would have been better off if they weren't caught and sold, but as for their descendants, would they have been better off? I mean there is a very hard world out there, even yesterday over one hundred Christians in a Nigerian town were hacked to death.

 

We have the luxury today of outlawing slavery because of our economic system. It wasn't too many years ago that people had to sell their children and even themselves so that they could live. We should never condemn something without looking at the alternative.

 

Obviously you did need 'permission', or Africans would have had their own anti-slavery movement. Of course they didn't because most of Africa liked the slave trade. Anti-slavery laws had to be imposed from outside, by European naval embargoes and anti-slavery activists lobbying their governments to end it.
