In the late 1800s to well into the 1900s, Europeans created “human zoos” in cities like Paris; Hamburg, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Barcelona, Spain; London; Milan; Warsaw, Poland; St Louis; and New York City.

These were popular human exhibits where whites went to watch Black people who were on display.

The Black people were usually forced to live behind gates and in cages similar to animals in a zoo today.

Some of the Black people were kidnapped and brought to be exhibited in the human zoos.

Many of them died quickly, some within a year of their captivity. A large number of visitors attended these exhibitions in each city daily. For example, the Parisian World Fair featured a human zoo that exhibited Black people, and 34 million people were drawn to the exhibition in just six months.


Below are several photos showing the horrible reality of Black people who were forced to live in human zoos.

This is a “Peoples Show” in Brussels, Belgium, where the young Black girl is fed by the white spectators

Congolese pygmy Ota Benga was on display at the Bronx Zoo in New York City in 1906. He was forced to carry around chimpanzees and other apes.

Okay

One of the many human zoos in France

Thank God for reorientation and abolishment of slave trade.

A 20-year-old girl from South Africa known as Sarah “Saartjie” Baartman was recruited to work in a Paris zoo because of a genetic characteristic known as steatopygia — protuberant buttocks and elongated labia. Whites went to the zoo to look at her buttocks and at other naked Black women with the same shape.

Do they pay the people, i want to leave this country and join

This is one of France’s many “Negro Villages.” It was said the village would often display Blacks to dehumanize them and compare them to animals.

Pygmies were made to dance during numerous exhibitions to entertain visitors at zoos in both Germany and England

to understand the real depth of slavery and what really happened, go watch ROOTS

When I see threads like this it makes me wanna cry

tinkin of how the whites dehumanized blacks is too painful to bear buhh I can bet the woes will soon befall the white for what they have done to degrade the black race! may God judge em all

Honestly speaking, why did they stop? ... I feel Nigeria still needs to be colonized for the next 100 years... It would've been much fun seeing our selfish and greedy leaders in that cage..

God bless these whites that introduced religion to us...

For real bro, r u serious, they enslaved us and further gave us a religion to further enslave us and u thank God for them, what has bin the benefit of religion to the world.


"When the churches literally ruled society, the human drama encompassed:

(e) the daily imposition of physical abuse
(f) cold heartlessness for the sufferings of the poor

This country never look like one that had suffered before because what our leaders who are Africans make us go through is far worse. The blood of those who suffered to make Nigeria free from slavery and all sort of maltreatment from the whites will never make all corrupt and sentimental government rest.

Sleekydee:
*walking by* oh boy, e done tay wey yansh dey back, see that a**

Edumare punish those whites all.

Especially the french.

But for me it has not change its just that is a little bit reduced,dy will come to our continent and be treated like king reverse is the case Wen visit them.......

It shudnt make u cry, we africans av don worst dan dis for oursefs. Even in des conditions, I believe most of dem wia living better dan d pple de left bak home. If in doubt, why ar d africans n blacks in europe n america not comin home despite d terrible situation de face dia? Even bein bombed.

abeg if there white people pays dem with cash..... den am in joooor..... just gat to live dis country

BLACKS generally care nothing for their education or self-preservation... they used to be great.. now they are just cheap animals

The pictures are annoying, but brain washed Africans are more annoying.

Anyway. There is nothing that happens on this earth that goes unrewarded.

whites have always been scared of Blacks since the beginning of time, that is why they tried so hard to paint blacks as inferior and themselves as superior, if one is truly superior they don't need to prove it.

let's leave these pasts behind (especially the ones where we failed) and look towards now and the future.

shey bi charm dey for africa,make we go use de charm avenge wetin dem do for our forefathers.shey bi charm dey for africa,make we go use de charm avenge wetin dem do for our forefathers.shey bi charm dey for africa,make we go use de charm avenge wetin dem do for our forefathers.

Will you blame the white men, when the so called leaders sorry looters of Africa have refuse to see anything good in developing the continent. Let ask ourselves and be truthful to each other has anything change? Now everyday we read hw African are migrating from the continent to Europe for green pastures since nothing has change.

To me let blame our leaders first before will blame the white. Imagine a country like naija don't be surprise if it's still the British that is ruling us there is tendency we won't be talking about issues of basic need again, but here we are after 56yrs and 100yrs of almgamation we are not there yet.

The only recognition or honour the blackman gets,is from the blackmen themselves,but we are always struggling to be recognised by the whites.what a deplorable mindset?

RACISTS Dats wot dose whites are I swear I was given opportunity I would cut off all their stinking head
