Please don’t believe white people ONLY stole Africans from the coasts . Africa says they took them from ALL over Africa.. and it wasn’t 12 million .. it was OVER 60 million Africans savagely removed and trafficked by whites off the continent from ALL over Africa.. The information on the slave ships manifestoes talks about how the people of Africa in the center in the west in the north and the south of Africa was attacked and captured by Europeans , Africans built walls and forts and actually told European government. They were not interested in this trade that they were betraying the deal that they made that they would be taking prisoners of war and the white people still came. African kings said you are emptying our lands kidnapping Our people, and these were not primitive people in the bush as white people like to say these were dignitaries these were officials .. this is so frightening that white people and the people they commissioned broke into peoples homes and communities and took them to foreign lands by force, to come into your home or your community and raid it and take black human bodies destroy them human traffic them dehumanized them rape them, rob them of their culture, their history, their language take them away from their family, take away their names and their languages and their religions their heritage to a whole Other land for the sole, selfish, self-serving purpose of enslaving people making them work for free to make white people rich, calling the people they barbarically took from their homeland animals when the animals were the white people who did that to Africa and its people.. .

[@analeegranny8732]

Black Americans always wanted to know. Its the lack of resources and knowing where to look that halted the process. Closure and fulfill is granted once you can fully understand where you come from.

[@mykb8069]

AnaLee Granny that’s not 💯 correct. Lemme tell u some facts. African slaves always had had an African attachment. That the reason why some Afr Am cultures are still very similar with Africans tribes( music passion for ex). Going back in Africa was one of the option they had to avoid slavery. What the white guys did was make them believe they were better slaves in America than masters in “poor and devastating “Africa . The next generation knew Africa through white media. Therefore, who wanna be identified with what was portrayed . In other words, they were telling them actually slavery saved you from that. And they believed it in some way and started focusing their fight in their new home or land, plus the new country was build essentially by them; so it was fair why not fighting to have ours shares. Being Africans was kinda insulting(I’m exaggerated a little bit but still )for Afr Am back then. When Afr Am fathers started traveling around the world after 1865, they rediscovered Africa and understood the importance to be unified and reconnected through pan-Africanism. From there, their battle have been very hard because of the mindset and the idea Afr Am had about the continent. The movement is now kinda successful because there’s a new way to fight the media monopoly through internet. And people are getting information by themselves and don’t just run with whatever. They have a better understanding of the continent and found a lot of stuff to be proud of theirs identities. And the idea that African sold Afr Am was created to seperate us while white people even installed colonialism to take advantage of Africa because they discovered our wealthy it is and didn’t want AA to be aware of that...there’s so much we can say, but I leave it at that

More educated than the Asians, Jews, Caucasians, Afro-Caribbeans African Americans AND FROM THE LAST TIME I CHECKED NIGERIANS ARE AFRICANS. What about the Nigerian entertainment industries that are spreading like wildfire all over the globe. They invented their own music genre called afrobeats with a film industry dubbed Nollywood that your own Hollywood is trailing right now. They are also exporting their culture and fashion which is receiving world attention and acclaim. Africans don't have time for someone like you who supposedly have been to school but the school is not coming out them.

@Emilian Chux, if you're Nigerian and you didn't know that Hausas were business people then you need Nigerian history classes. Yes Hausas were business people that's why the Hausa language is spoken in most west African countries as a trade language/lingua franca. Hausas travelled the whole of west Africa trading with neighbouring empires before the arrival of the Europeans.

To all my Nigerian brothers and sisters who are critiquing the show and its inaccuracies, why don't you do an ancestry show for the Blacks in the diaspora to present accurate information instead of coming to the Black diaspora and criticizing the people while benefiting from the blood, sweat and tears of these same people your ancestors sold.

[@NinjoTerror]

Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states. Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them. A reminder of this practice is documented in the Slave Trade Debates of England in the early 19th century: "All the old writers... concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans, with a view to that object." Europeans fomented this economic trade. But, europeans didn't kidnapped anyone. This catastrophe is to ''blame'' on old europeans and old african leaders, that preferred ''money'' over the life of human beings. As it does today, btw.

[@NinjoTerror]

Tosin Ojo, yeah, but don't blame it on your peers. Blame it on capitalism. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[@Biobele]

Valentino Gambino As an ijaw royalty i can tell you that Slavery in Nigeria or south south Nigeria wasn't the same as Europe or Arab I'll tell you why there were no castrations, no forced labour, a slave could be king example King Jaja of Opobo was an igbo man enslaved and bought by an Ijaw King he became King, in Europe Americas and Arabia all these were impossible. 2. That Africa/ijaws made slaves was a lie we only bought those who had been captured and we're going to be shipped, but some Ijaws were slaves? Yes, because the Europeans had an agreement that we give them criminals instead of drowning them (death sentence) we hand them to the Europeans and the pressure kept mounting for slaves. 3. Why didn't you fight back? A small ethnic group with villages in clusters through Nigeria Gabon and Sierra Leone, war canoes at the time were not suffisticated enough to defeat the colonialists so we had to strick a deal with them, they were to recognise our king, not attack us etc on our part not attack them (don't laugh we had war canoes and cannons although we would have lost but they would have lost a ship and some men atleast) then for trade you give us the guys you want to sentence to death and you allow us passage to transport slaves (at the time we didn't know how slaves were treated in Europe or Americas) like I told you above how we treated them. 4 why did you guys accept easily?

[@Biobele]

Tosin Ojo 4. Why accept so easily? If we rejected we had to be ready for war + they weren't the first whites/Europeans we had seen the portuguese did business and were nice to us atleast. Benin kingdom was razed to the ground and their great walls demolished, 500 villages burnt, their palace, ceremonial masks and places of worship etc looted and plundered, women and foodstuffs taken meanwhile the ijaws or kalabari in particular had been moving closer to the Atlantic to avoid conflict with other tribes So the british had destroyed Benin city after the Oba refused to sign a treaty to make benin a British protectorate the british sent their royal navy and ordered that the Oba be beheaded or hung upon capture this happened to our ijaws brothers (3000 known works of art excluding priceless well carved palace doors were shared round the world till today uk and us and europe makes money off those art pieces eg New york has the Queen Idia mask, uk has too many and they have refused to return it infact we were told to pay to lease it for a period of time so that Nigerians can see them) and my people were known for avoiding conflicts as much as possible and had strong relationship with the Portuguese before the British came. Finally before the disrespectful British the Portuguese had taken the son of the Oba (ruler/king) of Benin Oba Esigie to Portugal to better diplomatic ties after the King refused them access deeper into Africa and he had a nice time came back with many gifts so most people assumed the slaves would atleast get 1/10th of what the prince got but unfortunately it was not so. Till today the British have refused to give us access to documents they have both ours and the ones written by the their mecenaries so we can know more. I just wish you guys would not generalise the most racially, cuturally, ethnically, linguistically diverse continent in the world. I pray you look at each group individually and look for that group who sold their people and stop being ignorant no one ever says Asians are poor even though their rural areas still are and only 25 years ago China's cities were underdeveloped and really poor... Europeans are barbaric even though our minds picture of barbarians are white cave people... but always Africans are underdeveloped or sold themselves etc Europeans enslaved Europeans Arabs enslaved Arabs. in Africa very very few groups enslaved themselves the only group in Nigeria that I know did that was the Igbo but even they a caste system and when slavery became profitable things went out of hand and people added innocent people or disadvantaged people, unnecessary wars took place, people used religion to steal people and claimed the gods took them away because they were guilty of something and the igbos are business minded people. But ignorantly people say Nigeria or southern Nigeria when the British came they found out they couldn't control us because we didn't have one God or one king unlike the Fulanis and hausa's they didn't know which group was aligned with which or against which so they needed time to figure it out. So there plan was be friends with the scanty water people since they have too few people and control the waterways cause the Igbos who had population and controlled nothing we needed at the time

My point is that you don't really have to go back to the land of your ancestors if it's not going to serve you any purpose unless you think it will. I used the bible as a historical framework, so hope that didn't offend if you are not into the Christian religion.
