A video on the historical connection between Barbados and Liberia. It's also an example of how Mia Mottley's Pan-African vision has shaped her foreign policy.

The Black Power movement in the U.S.A., and the struggles of peoples of African descent in the Caribbean, South America and elsewhere, form an integral part of the African politico-military revolutionary struggle. Our victory will be their victory also, and the victory of all the

Abraham Lincoln's primary objective in the Civil War was not to end slavery, but to save the Union. In fact, there was such hesitancy around abolishing slavery that slavery was never fully abolished. The provision in the 13th amendment which continued slavery led to convict

But that's precisely the point. Africans cared when it was their own people who were being enslaved, so even you recognize that your previous claim that Africans didn't care was a lie.
Yes, he didn't care. As to how a famous gang member is in a neighbourhood and is the bane of existence to that neighbourhood by being responsible for murdering multiple people, robbing innocent people, killing innocent people, causing children to be orphans, etc, but cries when.

The slave ports weren't built by the Africans. This book by Anne Bailey is a great book which explores the history of the slave trade. Anne Bailey pointed out that the trade was primarily controlled by Europeans who built the ports and the ships.
@DOmowale So the answer is NO. Btw Benin, Ghana, and Senegal (I'm sure there are more) have slave ports so those people knew what was going on. They charge people to visit them present day. Again, everything is always a one way street. Along with excuses about why it's a one way street.

Admitting that Afonso was crying that his own nobles got caught up in the trade invalidates your previous claim that Africans didn't care. They didn't care when they were selling away their enemies and criminals, but they obviously cared when it was their own loved ones that were.
Keep in mind, this was following he had sold many enslaved Africans to the Portuguese, converted to Christianity, sent his children to Europe to be educated under Christianity but was crying when his own nobles got caught up in the trade. Yet this imbecile tries to use this as.

Afonso of the Kongo Kingdom actually did try to end the slave trade, but the Portuguese ignored his request and even tried to kill him. In the long-run, the slave trade weakened the Kongo Kingdom and eventually the Portuguese destroyed the Kongo Kingdom. African requests went.
Another reason people don't take you seriously is that you provide nothing but fallacies. Keep in mind, the Kingdom of Kongo was an ally of Portugal throughout most of its relationship with Portugal. Are you arguing against basic facts that the Kingdom of Kongo did not sell more.

We do have records of an ambassador from Kongo rescuing some captives in Brazil. The issue wasn't that they didn't care. It was that they often didn't know where their loved ones went and lacked the means to rescue them. Equiano mentioned some of this as well in his.
They did not care to. You are arguing against a basic, non-refutable fact. The first plantations that Europeans had involving enslaved Africans were not even in the Americas but IN AFRICA, on islands off the coast of West Africa like Cape Verde and São Tomé. If Africans cared.

Ashanti and Dahomey also did not have ships to rescue their captives, so the point still stands that anyone who thinks Africans were in a position to sail to the Americas to rescue people doesn't understand this history very well.
You are clearly being obtuse, i.e. being willfully ignorant on purpose. The West-African "civilisations" such as the Ashanti Empire, Dahomey, Benin, etc., were cognizant of what was occurring and even viewed Europeans as a potential threat, limiting them to the coastlines of.

Olaudah Equiano is actually one of the sources I was referring to. He believed that the Europeans were going to eat him. This idea that most Africans knew about slavery in the Americas and had ships to rescue people there is ahistorical.
This slave apologist is such a degenerate. Olaudah Equiano literally wrote in his autobiography that he alongside many other Africans believed that Europeans were cannibals, due to how they’d continuously arrive on the coasts of West and Central Africa for humans. The people.

Many Africans weren't even aware of what happened to the captives. Many believed the Europeans cannibalized the captives. Besides that, Africans also lacked a fleet of ships necessary for such a rescue mission to begin with.
@DOmowale Do you have any writings from Africans that came to the Americas to find/help/rescue the Africans that where bartered, sold, or kidnapped? It's always been a one way street. Africans only seem interested in the diaspora if they benefit from it. That's not camaraderie.

Africans in Guyana built their own autonomous communities after slavery ended. In working to dismantle the colonial systems we have now, we should draw from our own historical traditions of governance.

The liberation of Kenya has always been an important focus within the Pan-African movement. In fact, Martin Luther King mentioned Kenya's struggles in his final speech. We must continue to stand in solidarity with our Kenya brothers and sisters.
