The muslim slave trade in black Africans actually transported and worked to death some where between ten and twenty times as many people as the transatlantic slave trade over its entire history and that isn't even counting Muslim enslavement of whites.
I believe it's still going on in Africa.
Not that it justifies the Confederacy, but Arab Muslims treated and still threat their Black slaves way worse than Southerners did.
The Worst part about them, is they don't even apologize about it & sometimes even use passages from the Koran to justify slavery. While many White Southerners feel guilty about the past, many Muslims don't even feel guilty about the Present.
The Prophet Mohammed was a huge slaveowner, and held many Black slaves in bondage.
That video started out with a lie and I didn't bother watching it after that. "Every 28 hours an unarmed black man is shot down by a white cop for no reason!" Actually there were 11 unarmed black men shot by police (not just white police but all police" in 2019 and I vestigations determined nine of them were justified with just three being unjustified.
It is hard to take a source seriously after such a blatant lie.
Oh. I didn't really look at the rest of the video.
Jus that it remakred how the Prophet Mohammed had Black slaves & therefore implies that even for some of today's Muslims, this justifies the modern Slave Trade in Africa.
Here's something that's more to the point:
Commentator not only points out that not only did the Prophet own slaves, endorsed such a system, but also seemed to view Black Slaves as lesser than Arab ones or those with lighter skins. He would stoop so low as to offer 2 Black slaves for the price of 1 lighter skinned one.
This is likely that while Slavery has been abolished in the West, a large number of Muslim countries still condone it. Because their prophet said it was OK.
To be fair, I condone slavery. Because God does.
My uncle made a joke earlier, he said "back then, we fed them, clothed them, and housed them, and in return they worked for us. Now, we feed them, clothe them, and house them, and dont get anything in return" hahahaha.
They brought that "property" shit on themselves. First person in the 1600s to go to court, and claim a slave as property indefinitely, was a BLACK man! Anthony Johnson.
I think indentured servitude was a good thing, having a slave was something else, but as long as they were treated good, I dont see it as a bad thing. A lot of them didnt know what to do when freed, and barely got by. A lot died of starvation and bad living conditions.
All because of Lincoln.
He cared not for the slaves. He only did what he did half way into the war in hopes of starting a slave revolt against the Confederates, much like what the British tried to do, and they didnt, they still fought with their masters.
