ignorant whiteboi, he was 400billion dollars of 2017s wealth

There all the other blacks are poor. Case closed.

...

Assessments of historical wealth aren't very accurate. To begin with, we're assuming that Mansa Musa could just take his gold (of which he had massive piles) and spend it. There's the well-known story of how his charitable giving as his entourage passed through Egypt ended up basically crashing the local economy (spoiler: inflation is a thing), so there's no way that he would have been able to spend all $400 billion that he apparently had. In addition, purchasing power would have been different: gold in the past was inherently valuable (being used for coinage and jewelry) while in the present its value mostly comes from tech applications (computer chips, wire, etc.) since nobody pins their currency to the gold standard anymore (at least, nobody important). Finally, we must consider the state of his society and ours: today, almost any American (even those in relative poverty) can walk to the store and buy all sorts of things that Musa, with all his wealth, could never have hoped for. Books, fresh fruits, chocolate -- these would have been prohibitively expensive or straight-up unavailable in his time.

So it's complicated. His wealth is very impressive, but direct comparisons with rich people of other eras might be a bit misleading.

Somehow his descendants still became slaves. Huh

Nice trips
That is the way africa works m8. The rulers had slaves then too. Sure, one nigger was rich. but he got rich by enslaving all the other niggers.
Shit still works the same way there.

Are you an idiot, do you think you're some fuckin genius for this post lmfao? Literally half of your post doesn't address the topic. More money. not how they spent it, not how it compares to other and inflation eras. nothing.
Gold
unless you're trying to say X person currently has MORE than he had.

in 1808 gold was 18$. Now it is 350$.

Thats from a non rasist chinese man who gives a fuck about slavery racisim or imperializm

just SAD nigger

The Kingdom of Kongo converted to Catholicism and started in with the slave trade. Then the kingdom started getting torn apart by civil war and a bunch of high-ranking Kongolese were sold into slavery by their rivals.

So yeah, a lot of slaves genuinely were kangz n sheeit. A lot of slaves from Kongo were regarded with some suspicion after events like the Stono Rebellion, which was led by Portuguese-speaking likely Kongolese slaves.

here is the full story brother
