How did Europeans with 1 ship, 15 sailors manage to take over 2000 men into slavery without a fight and millions more after the first human Cargo left Africa? Money!
We sold human beings for money!
That is the best explanation for slave trade. Africans sold their own brothers and sisters into slavery because of money, gin, mirror, linen, sandals, gas-lamp...
And that's why slavery flourished - we sold ourselves, brothers and sisters into slavery because of money. We are still doing same today as our forebearers.
Slave traders weren't just Europeans, there were western, southern and eastern africa slave traders too who hunt and kidnapped their own brothers and sisters to be sold into slavery.
The white folks didn't have such power to walk into Africa and began kidnapping us into slavery, our progenitors did the job for them for a packet of cigarette.
Look at our elections. Every 4 years we all lament, complain, curse and swear that politicians are destroying the country but our brothers and sisters are those selling the votes, snatching ballot boxes, do spiritual prayers for them. Our professors are those manipulating election results at collation centres for them. Our media. Every day after that is complaints, cries and regret, yet in the next elections, same thing will be done, again.
Politicians are not that smart, the people deserves the leader they get always.
