NARRATIVE FAILURE VIII

Blacks sold to Europeans by west African kingdoms were already enslaved.
Most male slaves in Africa were castrated.
African boys were sold as sex slaves to Arabs.
Blacks transported to the New World lived to have children and grandchildren.
Their relatives who stayed behind left few or no progeny.

In that sense, the Atlantic slave trade was
beneficial to the descendants of slaves.

For African-Americans, the Legacy of Slavery gives them life in a developed
nation - the world's wealthiest. If they are not grateful, I suggest they move to
the Congo, Chad or the Central African Republic.

Slavery Remembrance Day

[...] On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, in Saint Domingue, today the Republic of Haiti, saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.

[...] It is against this background that the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is commemorated on 23 August each year. It was first celebrated in a number of countries, in particular in Haiti (23 August 1998) and Gorée Island in Senegal (23 August 1999).
