Quote:

Because Africans maintained political control over themselves throughout the entire period of the slave trade (ca. 1450 to 1850) they themselves conducted the business of enslavement, selling the slaves to Europeans at the coastline where they were loaded on to European ships.

Africans were captured as slaves by other Africans in the following ways: prisoners of war, slave raids, condemned criminals, condemned debtors, persons accused of witchcraft, kidnapped.

In the first years of the slave trade slaves tended to come from the coastal areas of Africa. Over time, however, the source of slaves moved further into the African interior. Historians have often referred to this moving source of slaves as the "slaving frontier." Slaves captured hundreds of miles in the interior of Africa were forced to walk all the way to the coast and many died and suffered severe deprivations on these "marches of death." Americans tend to think of the mortality on board ship in the "middle passage," but the mortality of slaves walking to the coast was probably as high as mortality in the oceanic passage.

very offensive.

are women seriously only viewed like this?
lets start a racism thread huh?

i wish men could know what it feels like.
but no, men are on top of everything, and can pretty much have anything they want.

i wish men would realize what they are doing to us, and the women that go along with it. i believe the women should be killed.

i've had an eating disorder since i was 13 and all this bullshit really effects our minds. from an early age, i've seen all this shit to be the worth of a woman. i've been told thing like i haeve jelly rolls that could feed a town. i am willing to put my fingers down my throat to get rid of that. i am willing to starve for days on end till my fingers turn blue. my boyfriend always looks at other women, doesnt even look at me if we have sex, and has watched porn behind my back numerous times promising me he wouldnt because of things that happened to me at an early age.

deep down, i think ALL women absolutely hate themselves.


58% of men said if they could get away with rape, they would do it.
its a weird feeling to feel absolutely ugly but afraid to get raped at the same time.



PLEASE START THINKING ABOUT US.

blacks don't hold power in our country, what about the fact that we have a black president... and white people are not the only racist, there are plenty of people who hate white people "reverse racism" (what ever thats supposed to mean) certainly exists. the are many streets in this country i would never walk down because i would get my ass beat just for being white.

---

Saying us having a black president dismantles any racism this country has had or still has is any extremely ignorant statement. Millions of blacks are literally dying younger because they are systemically oppressed and don't have access to health care which most white people do. Blacks people in this country die an average of 5 years younger than do there white counterparts. They have the least "life chances" have less funding to schooling and compose the lower levels of our social class. Is it because they are inferior or are there as a result of there own cause? Or is it possible if not more likely they are there a result of racism?
