Could it have ever happened that some "slaves" brought to America could have purposely interned themselves just to get out of africa. It sounds crazy because of the narrative we are used to, until you really think about it.
>Be african >Constantly deal with disease and tribal warfare >Here if a new place that is much more forgiving. >Get "caught".
>get "caught" You make it sound like Europeans were running around the jungle with nets. We bought the Africans from Africans.

No, now go back to your containment board:
Cameron Foster
They picked the best of the supply pool, so there was definitely eugenic choices involved.
Xavier Collins
And then be stuck in a dark hull of the slave ship for months, bound to stationary positions for most of their journey.
I'd rather beat Mr. Ooga Booga with my spear and ravish his wife than be stuck in a slave ship hull for months.
Eli Martin
Yeah meant get caught by your enemy Africans.
Carson Murphy
I would much rather be brought to America.
Owen Brown
I don't think an African would even know America existed.

>slavery in civilization is better than freedom with all its uncomfortable aspects Guess the Arabs were completely justified in enslaving millions of whites. Better than living in the festering shithole that was Europe.
Zachary Nelson
They probably heard about it through word of mouth.
John Harris
DAMN IT BONER MY JUNGLE FEVER IS AT IT AGAIN
Joshua Murphy
ITT: OP is a brainlet and doesn't remember what a slave ship voyage was like
Camden Butler
>get in on the 5 start slave cruise >enjoy the prestigious auction block
It wasn't until like around the late 19th to 20th. Century that the scramble happened
Jacob Lewis
You seem to think that these africans could see into the future somehow?
Angel Perez
I'd rather live in modern Ghana than have been a slave in the Americas at the time
Ian Cox
Being born in Ghana is itself a form of slavery and punishment
Henry Mitchell
Not really. It's poor but not like the Congo at all.
Lucas Robinson
>having your balls cut off is bad but it's not like burning alive
Hudson Morales
The two countries aren't even comparable lol. What's with your hyperbole and hysteria.
