Why do people act like USA was the only country that enslaved black people during the Atlantic slave trade even though the vast majority of all slaves were transported to Latin America and the Caribbean?
>>16901222Because here in the USA it still matters. Does it still matter in Brasil?
>>16901222Because those countries aren’t white
>>16901222benin :D XDDD
>>16901227and the us is?
Simple answer is media.Most people get their history from how media portrays it.USA produce the most media.Hence it creates a distorted optics.Historians cant be responsible for what journalists, filmmakers, hip hop producers, or teachers say and do.
>>16901223in brazil, niggers mixed with the rest of the populationin america, there was long period of segregation and ban on race mixing
>Why does strawman?who acts like that?
Technically the USA wasn't even really involved in the slave trade. The American colonies were under British rule while a majority of the slave trade took place. In fact, the USA had barely 30 years to participate as its own sovereign nation before Britain passed the Slave Trade Act in 1809, effectively ending the Atlantic Slave Trade since the British Navy had recently proved its supremacy over its chief rivals and now stood unchallenged as the master of the Atlantic.Of course Britain didn't do this out of the goodness of its heart, but because as the OP's image shows, the primary beneficiaries of the slave trade were Spain and France, who relied on the massive imports of Africans to swell their Caribbean and South American plantations. Cutting off the trade of slaves harmed the colonial empires of its main rivals. Furthermore, by controlling the Atlantic with its navy, Britain could grow its own colonies without slaves far easier than Spain or France could.
>>16901223>still matters.in what way, that niggers wont shut the fuck up about it?>>16901354was/were and will probably be whiter than your dingleberry of a euro country within the next decade or two lmao
because complaining about it is only profitable in the US. and now in Europe.
>>16901222Aren't we forgetting somebody?
>>16901222Latin American slavery isn’t relevant to US history or any populations in the US. Just like Ottoman slavery wasn’t so we don’t talk about it much. Meanwhile there are 45 million descendants of slaves brought to the US that have to grapple with the long term consequences of multigenerational slavery, followed by multigenerational legal oppression, and so American slavery is a relevant historical subject to Americans.
