First of all, we're based on a democratic government which was originated by white people long ago. We bought the slaves because they were black, no other reason, and considered them without souls anyway, the slave trade is what HELPED Africa because their Kings were poor before our money bought their people.

second:
They harvested their own people to sell, we, as white men, bought them. That's what it has to do with each other.

The actual answer I gave was that our societies of skin colors were built completely differently. Thus that had a lot to do with how they built over time.

first of all, as talksic has stated your completely out of whack with your beleif that africa was poor until the europeans brought "their money". as it is well known all money is based on solid wealth, such as gold and diamonds which africa was and still is flooded with. africans just didnt have as strong a value on it until europeans showed up. and that was only because of the trade value it held with europeans. second when africans first used slaves among themselves they weren't slaves for life. then and even the slaves initially sold to europeans were prisoners of war and convicted criminals. yes after the initial monetary gain, lesser citizens were sold off by the king.this lasted until europeans started stealing as many citizens as they can, including royalty. so yes africa was slightly fucked up, but it was multiplied to the tenth degree after european integration. but as red bull said, this thread wasnt really meant to be an argument of races, so ill add to the initial discussion in the next post
