This headline is terrible. because it’s demand that drives slave trade, not the supplier. Humans who were ok using, raping and killing other humans in name of capitalism. If there was no demand for this horror, there would have been no supply, suppliers would have been hung.

You do understand that inter-tribe slavery existed for centuries prior to the start of the Atlantic slave trade... and in parts of North Africa, it exists to this day. I hope you know that.

i hope you understand the critical concepts of volume and scope.

I’m sure that’s of great comfort to those people currently enslaved in Africa.

There wouldn't have been Nigerian Slave traders without the demand for Slaves. It's incredibly naive to suggest these people weren't reacting to the situation

You need to not comment on a culture you know nothing about.

this is a pretty generic and applicable statement about economics. it’s not specific to culture. it’s laughable and telling you say someone knows nothing about a subject and elitist/racist to gatekeep on educational grounds.

There was no place known as Nigeria until the British conquest. This tale, while I assume full of at least half truths, is also replete with nonsense.

The hardcore truth¿
Slavery is the labor that created global wealth over thousands of years....slavery, brutality, horror...sheer disregard for human rights all throughout history.
The truth hurts.
