On the "We Wuz Kings" Narrative

Yeah, there were kings in Africa, for sure. But what these Afrocentric buffoons neglect to mention (probably out of ignorance in that these are the same morons who tried to tell us that the ancient Egyptians were actually sub-Saharan blacks - ditto, the Olmec Indians of ancient Mexico) is that a lot of these same "kings" would intentionally start wars in an effort to obtain slaves and then treat those individuals with abominable cruelty (torturing them, working them to death, serving them up as cannon-fodder, etc.). It doesn't fit the narrative (you know, the one that blames white Europeans and Americans for virtually every evil in the history of human civilization), I guess...........................................................................................Sources - "Tropical Africa" by Robert Coughlin, "The History of Slavery and the Slave Trade" by William O. Blake, and "The Slave Community" by John W. Blassingame.
