He's saying you're severely mentally ill, Stefan.

Is your line of logic that the way slavery was practiced in Western society from 1500-1900, is the same as how slavery was practiced on the African continent prior to 1500, the same as Greco-Roman civilisations did it, the same as Islamic states did it?

That is exactly his line of logic. He’s been tweeting about “Islamic slavery” etc since this tweet. He doesn’t seem to get the difference between the concept of slavery being bad and racially based slavery being worse.

Are you seriously suggesting that it’s reasonable to have this discussion? Are you so dense that you think you can conflate agents of the slave trade, and generalizations about race? Even if the above is deemed reasonable, your generalizations are based on nonsense logic.

This is a severely underrated tweet.

Slavery, as terrible as it was/is, wasn’t based on skin color until the white Europeans made it that way.

They were just a fraction of the ways they captured black people. Most were just abducted by white people. Your question seems to suggest that was the only way black people came to the Americas. It's not.

Most important question is "what was the fate of Africans who refused to capture and trade others?" Imagine being forced to smuggle drugs for the cartel while your family is held hostage. What are your options?

I didn't even think of that angle and it's a great point. Do you have any sources on that 2nd part? It's not something I've ever really considered and id's like to read into it a lil more

First hand experience of my grandparents who are from riverine fishing communities by the Atlantic ocean. They were raised with tales and songs of resistance, and entire villages migrating to the hinterlands. Conquered royals who resisted were murdered or exiled
