This is an enlightening read:


Take a look at the Arab-Muslim slave trade that promulgated laws to castrate African male slaves while the females are enslaved, raped, violated and bred for reproduction. Today, a huge percentage of same Africans cozy up to Islam which helped legalize the destruction of their homeland and carried a out massive enslavement of their brother's, sisters, father's and mothers; and of course facilitating the spread of Islam since Muslims cannot enslave their brothers.

But, common research shows that, and I am not downplaying the enablement of natives, most Africans who dealt in slave trades couldn't have imagined the type of evil they were handing their kinsmen over to.

In most African cultures, slavery is actually a normal thing, and here is why. People in debt could offer themselves to their debtor as payment until a debt is satisfied and the person will regain their freedom. People who mistakenly killed other people could be offered as replacements to appease the bereaved. Stubborn children were sold as slaves so as to avoid embarrassment to family on extreme occasions.

The lazy in the society could also decide to be slaves to the richer ones so as to have access to daily meals. There were so many ways slavery was going on, and some may not make for good stories. But, the type of slavery that went on across the oceans and seas and the inhumane treatments meted out to this Africans around the 7th century and onwards couldn't have been imagined by their people that enabled the slavery.
