Did black people sell their own into slavery ? If you say that you're falling for a colonialist lie, here's why, The idea that all Africans were one people is a European concept, not historical reality. Africa is massive, home to thousands of cultures, languages and ethnic groups, a kingdom, and West Africa didn't see itself as the same as another kingdom hundreds of miles away. They weren't selling their own people. They were selling outsiders, prisoners of war and rivals. Let's flip the script. If Ireland went to war with Poland, would you say they were fighting their own people just because both nations are white ? No, Then why does this logic get applied to Africa ? Because white supremacy has flattened all African cultures into a single label, black, erasing the diversity and complexity of the continent. The transatlantic slave trade wasn't some internal betrayal. It was a deliberate, a system designed by European powers who armed and manipulated African rulers while reaping all the profits. Who really built the system, who really benefited. It wasn't Africa. It's time to challenge the colonial narrative. Share, believe, inspire blacks, be.
