When you hear “African kings sold their black brothers into slavery” myth


When you hear “African kings sold their black brothers into slavery” argument remember (1.) African kings largely thought [tribally] NOT racially, and (2.) slaves were largely caught as WAR prizes; they weren't "their own", they were from another tribe. They were enemies.

Most of slaves sold by African chiefs were WAR CAPTIVES (other tribesmen). (cont)

There was representation of slaves, the freeborn and the nobility at the royal court in most African states. (cont)
