The moors conquerors of Spain were black

Jazz
NBA
Dicks
HipHop?
Golf
Track
Harlem Renaissance (Poets Artists n shit)
Obama
Blues
RnB
RockNRoll

You know Egypt has had black kings and queens? It's indisputable

The people who sold African slaves to Europeans were black.

they invented jazz and blues music

Is that supposed to be important?

dey wuz kangz n shiet rayciss craka wah paht of dat doo u not unnastan

Almost 100% of today's music if we take apart EDM (even tho they are still a huge part of it)

Slavery in the Americas would have been much harder to achieve without the African rulers and their enthusiastic cooperation.

You posted this on /his/ word for word but without the useless stuff at the end to make it /his/ related.

Africans never sold their own into slavery. You're previous statement was true but obviously engineered to be disingenuous.

> Almost 100% of today's music if we take apart EDM
But is that distinctly black? Note that for example guitars are a European invention.

all the women orgasms

And they where used to play african-influenced music, also most (or maybe all) latin music is also made by/influenced by africans
Niggers are just good at music

American music culture and its surrounding movements (this is probably the biggest given its one of America's only soft cultural exports)
Greatly influenced American colloquial, fashion, and style
Huge influence on Southern identity and culture in general (food, oral traditions, music)
American Civil Rights Movement
Provided America with free labor for centuries
Fought in every American war
Have entire amendments within the constitution made for them that have benefited hundreds of millions of Americans

What are you talking about. Slave trade was very prolific in pre-colonial Africa.
Europeans only raided for slaves very early on. It quickly became an unsustainable practice as the local kingdoms began resisting the abductions of their serfs.
After that the Europeans simply engaged in the regulated slave trade that was already established by the locals. It was a win win situation for both parties.

Doesn't justify the inhumane treatment they received on behalf of Europeans in the New World.

>Treated inhumanely by Africans
>Treated inhumanely by Europeans
>Treated inhumanely by Arabs
What's the difference? They would have been treated like commodities regardless of who they where sold to.

Michael Jackson
he is equivalent to 100 Einsteins

They had to endure the actual journey as cargo across the ocean, were subject to chattel slavery and ownership that they weren't as slaves in Africa, and were forced into a society that placed Africans all the way at the bottom of society.

Did Romans enslave their own people?

How many?

They enslaved other Europeans if that's what you're asking.

What is your point exactly? That slavery is wrong? Well no shit, I'm not arguing that.
However you implying that treating Africans like dirt is something uniquely European is factually incorrect. See Arabian slavery, they did it far longer and was just as cruel.

>Africans never sold their own into slavery.

why would you go onto the internet and tell lies like that

American music.

why the fuck does Sup Forums have this psychotic obsession with us?

I'm right. Africans did not sell their own people into slavery. Europeans bought slaves from chiefs who sold them captured people from enemy and rival tribes. Just because they were both black did not mean they saw them as their own. They spoke different languages and had different customs and mannerisms. No Africans sold their own into slavery.

The slave industry in Africa was expanded by trade with Europeans. Not even trying to race bait here, but it was a mutual relationship.

Probably their own individual achievements and not just a tie to their vague racial ancestry

Of course they fucking did. Just like the human traffickers in North Africa sending people across the Mediterranean Sea these days, back then they sent them on ships to America. All in the name of money, the greedy fucks.

Thinking that someone is inferior based on the colour of their skin is the only thing that keep most of the white trash and neets on this board away from suicide, famalam.

>when talking about white shit Egypt isn't white
>when people say that they had some blacks inside suddendly they're white

God, racial tryhards disgust me

Did Whites starve their own people in Ireland?

literally all a mixture of white and black american culture. none of it is distinctly black, may hip hop tho

i know but its sad because Sup Forums could be so much better if it weren't for stormweenies

Got to have someone to put the blame on your shitty life.
Guess which certain board has the most cuck porn posters on non blue boards

Because a lot of you are legally retarded and say retarded shit and it's hard for us to deal with that.

What with pan-negroism being a thing of today it can sometimes be hard to tell what they mean by "their own".
With your newly added definition of what that constitutes I will concede that point.

African Americans. So you mean people who moved from an African country, to the U.S.? Not American born people, right?

The stromweenies came when Sup Forums raid strowfront a while ago. A good way to spot them is, that they try way to hard to fit in and hate anime, not because it's garbage, but because it was made by Japanese people.

I'm sure that the banter we Chileans get is by far less than the banter you blacks get in this board but embrace the memes, I started blasting reggaeton myself and tanned a bit to get more brown.

They did indeed. They called themselves British, and starved so many people, in conjunction with a major crop failure, that it could be considered not only a famine period, but an act of genocide.

Yes, yes they did. Slavery was a very common predicament for a lot of Romans. It could happen for the most trivial things. Granted, the majority of Roman slaves were captives taken in war, but a fair number of native Romans were subject to it as well, normally as punishment for crimes or failing to pay their debts.

So are you saying the people who were and are black and native to Africa were not Africans becase they didn't like other Africans? Hardly anyone in Africa is African, if that's the case.

Sup Forums, Sup Forums?

I'm not saying every white person that hates blacks is a loser but every single white person I know that constantly blames blacks for everything are losers themselves. Blaming other people for their miserable lives basically.

>literally all a mixture of white
>none of it is distinctly black

how's it possible for african americans to have anything distinctly 'black' when they live in a predominantly white society and are mixed themselves? it's nearly impossible given their racial and cultural mixture.

it's like asking latinos what they have that's distinctly 'white' or 'amerindian'

It's much worse with Ethiopia or the horn of Africa.
When some loser ass faggot tries to pull a "let me tell you about your people" shit on me I just couldn't really believed the stupidity.

It 's like if someone came up to you and said Chile isn't Hispanic with the most stupidest shit you can imagine.

Ehh, close.

Im black, i hate niggas like you too, but please dont group all dark skinned ppl in the same category. We're not all that bad. I work in a mostly white-trash neighborhood but you dont see me bashing white people whenever i get the chance.

Dude there's like a BLACKED thread on Sup Forums every hour of the day.

Yeah, I hadn't posted anything in this thread prior to what you're responding to and I agree with you.

>none of it is distinctly black
Neither are African Americans.

The posters who say "Stormweenie" are jidf, it's their version of "shitlord".

>embrace the memes
its the only thing i can do desu

but it's only so much before it makes me think how creepy and psychotic these neckbeards are. everytime i see a nerd in public i always think how they probably browse Sup Forums and call people niggers online

Yes
They enslaved the places they conquered so yeah, but they also enslaved their own when, for example, people didnt payed their taxes or if a roman refused to serve in the army, wich was obligatory.

I just said stormweenie because he said it too.

Tbh my major fear about traveling abroad is that, considering I look arabic it makes everything worse.
Then I remember that every country has more normies than neckbeards and everything gets a bit brighter.

>Africans did not sell their own people into slavery.

>chiefs who sold them

Am I missing something here? Impressive mental gymnastics pham

Africans still sold African slaves to Europeans, which I consider them selling their own.

>Because a lot of you are legally retarded and say retarded shit
so do white people. just go to Sup Forums or reddit

>Am I missing something here
Yes. Read that post again.

>jidf

also nigger idf and spic idf. remember 40% of us posters are non-white.

are there african americans supporting the republican party?

go die. i hope all coons and uncle toms get drawn and quartered

And 100% of Canadians are annoying shitposters.

>you dont see me bashing white people

You just called a subgroup of white people trash. They're still better than the best of niggers. Go back to apefrica, monkey.

>Just because they were both black did not mean they saw them as their own.

niggers are niggers user

...

I mean statistically. Sup Forumstards say a lot of things that miss the mark, but at least they can use sources and communicate their ideas in ways more eloquent than what all the wewuzzers do.

>Jazz
OK
>NBA
Who cares?
>Dicks
No
>HipHop?
Is it an achievement?
>Golf
Not relevant
>Track
No
>Harlem Renaissance (Poets Artists n shit)
Not art
>Obama
No
>Blues
Meh
>RnB
No
>RockNRoll
Meh

yeah but most black people think they are insane. ever since republicans have appealed to racist rednecks black people stopped supporting them and think that supporting them is close to betrayal

Go back to r*ddit, the real countries are talking

>r&b

what the fuck?

Th-thank you

Ethiopians were black

...

>france
No

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ethiopians are genetically as distant from europeans as they are from niger-congo and bantu people (ancestors of basketball americans).

They're good at running.

White trash is a very VERY true thing just like ghetto ass niggas. Im not being biased dude. Just admit all races have decent and ugly sides.

>American cartoon
Go post Johnny Test instead.

...

Johnny Test was the shit man.

...

why do /in/t mod assholes allow these threads to exist and let them alone? Sup Forums mods are purely morons who must be Sup Forumsacks

>Takes personal pride in something the Royal Engineers did, not Canadians

They run fast

I bet you use the term PoC irl

Why is it always the spics getting so buttblasted over the fact that theyre brown manlets living in shitholes?

>White trash is a very VERY true thing just like ghetto ass niggas.
Not statistically, especially in terms of murder rates or SAT scores. Poorest whites are less violent than ghettos "youths" and the biggest predictor of SAT scores is race not income.

cshe.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/shared/publications/docs/ROPS.CSHE_.10.15.Geiser.RaceSAT.10.26.2015.pdf

Being the least mixed race on earth?
Being the oldest race on earth?

Whites will never achieve this.
