Supply Chain

How people like to turn their face and pretend this dod not happened.

You sue deep pockets.

Name ANY illegal commodity where the seller can be arrested but the buyer can't?

Slavery was not illegal at the time, but I do agree that European should not be excused for adopting African slavery.

And here's a diagram of how the adoption of slaves process was facilitated...

Are you familiar with the Irish coffin ships?

Were they adopting out Irish captured by Africans too to pin it on the poow widdle English?

You are obviously not familiar with Irish history.

Africans caught and sold the Irish into slavery?

No. Africans caught and sold Africans into slavery. Remember the original post? My point is that lots of Irish died on ships traveling to America. If you are going to post comments, please put down the bong and focus.

Fella, exactly, YOU injected the Irish into this. If you can't follow whatever your excuse for [lack of] logic or narrative is, then that's on you.
If you find your irrelevant injection actually IS relevant - only not fitting your bogus revisionism - them that's on you too.

Big r/whoosh, as of course Africans didn't sell Irish or any slaves in the English colonies, the English did. G-G-Get it? The trade turned London from a mud flats backwater of a town to the economic center it still is today, the banking and insurance companies and commodities market it built still prominent.

Perhaps you should look things up first before frying anymore egg on your face.

Who turned off "reply?" Not me.

This is just sad. You've been on imgflip for almost two years and you haven't even bothered to find out how the comment layers cap works.

What point are you trying to make? Do you disagree somehow with the OP? Do you disagree that Africans were the original slave traders in the transatlantic slave trade? Do you think Blacks in the US are owed reparations? I really don't understand what you are trying to say.

YOU inserted something and now you're dodging the point you unintentionally made?
I take it you took my advice and looked things up. You should heve done that BEFORE putting yourself in a position where you feel you have to dig your heels in defense of your bs.

I am a registered Democrat, but I don't identify with any party. I think both are corrupt and self-serving. No partisan hackery here. I dislike both Parties. You post emotional content mostly, not coherent logic. What facts? What happened to "reply?"

You have yet to post anything pertaining to the original post. I don't think you are interested in history. I think you are only interested in political identity.

That's your gig, fella, partisan hackery and team tee propaganda chicanery.

But keep dodging the facts I brought up,,,

Really? Because your meme was phrased to very clearly imply that it was an either/or thing.

You're saying it like that's not a serious conversation that the British absolutely have been having.

The British outlawed slavery earlier than most African and European kingdoms did. Also, look at the big picture. Slavery is as old as civilization. The idea that slavery should be illegal is very
modern.

What, 1846? So, early enough to impact exactly no part of this conversation?

1846 is not even 200 years. Slavery has been around for over 7,000 years.

So?

"So?" Great answer. You won the debate with that. Good for you. You probably have a degree in history or something.

What debate? You haven't elaborated on where you were going with that at all. You just said numbers. That's not a debate.

Beat the US by 2 decades! In all areas except the territories controlled by the East India Company, and, of course, Australia, where it continued well into the 20th Century.

The point is everyone's ancestors came to America in a leaky boat.

THAT'S your takeaway???!!

And yet somehow the conversation still hasn't ended? What a mystery!!

People taking history out of context and weaponizing it for political gain and virtue signaling is my takeaway.

Well, let's get one thing clear- here, YOU'RE the one being resistant to MY attempts to put this into historical context.

How are you trying to put slavery in a historical context?

........ you really can't figure that one out?

Light mode?

Does it matter?

Um, kinda?

Cap

Cap

Cap, doesn't it end? Please explanin.

Look, genius, the answer is right in front of you. It's even color coded, for Christ's sakes.

Look up and down this page and look at all the comments where the reply link isn't showing. What do they all have in common?
