One Of Savage White America's Favorite We Don't Owe You Reparations For Slavery Excuses: BUT YOUR OWN KIND SOLD YOU INTO SLAVERY!

Yes, slavery had existed before the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. But, in the recorded history of the world, never had the abusive form of Chattel Slavery whites inflicted on blacks been recorded. IOW, nowhere (in recorded history) had slaves been stripped of their humanity. Because of the unique kind of savagery whites inflicted, historians began to refer to it (the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade) as The Peculiar Institution i.e. “peculiar from the forms of slavery previously known to man”.

In summary and additionally: 1. There was no system of Chattel Slavery in Africa. Slaves were not stripped of their humanity i.e. culture, religion, humanity; 2. What Africans did to Africans, which was by in no way comparable to what whites did to them; 3. Africans who sold Africans into slavery were not aware of the Chattel slavery the West introduced; 4. Despite the current European historical revision, the percentage of Africans sold by Africans is inflated.
