Bantu it almost sounds like you are jeolous?

Whatever!?

Brotherman & his lady: If they are inlove...so mote it be girl! Do you think ALL white people are bad? What and where do you think they should live, be and do to appease your angry mind?

You think that it is the white people ONLY responsible for the atrocities in the world today? Never underestimate the power of the Dragon. Basically CHINA finances most the world Banks.
And the Porugese?

WHo taught the whites? The Greeks? Who in the ancient civilization influenced the white world? Ancient Egypt. And China.

It is argued that China has “arguably the longest continuous history of development of any civilisation in the world”. It is a history of immense fragmentation with constant conquest and chaos. Three millennia ago, there were some 170 states. Yet, in the midst of this turmoil, there has been true genius with lasting philosophy, superb craftwork and brilliant invention.

The name ‘China’ comes from the Sanskrit name of Cinasthana which is what the Indians called the state of Qin (221-206 BC). It was this state that unified under one ruler an area approximating what we know now as China and it was the First Emperor of Qin who instigated both the Great Wall and the terracotta army.

It was the Portuguese who started from about 1510 to transport African slaves to the early Spanish colonies in tropical America. By the 17th century, the rapidly growing European demand for sugar - a crop making heavy demands for labour - promoted a huge growth in the slave trade to the Dutch, French and English colonies of the West Indies. According to the figures of Oliver & Fage, the 17th century total for slaves transported across the Atlantic was at least 1,340,000; this exploded to at least 6,050,000 in the 18th century; and it was still around 1,900,000 in the 19th century.

The British were at the heart of this barbaric trade - by the end of the 18th century they were carrying nearly half the slaves taken to America - but in 1811 they were the among the first to abolish slavery. Oliver & Fage are honest enought to record, however, that: "There had been slavery in Kongo, as in every other part of Africa, long before Europeans began to export slaves overseas".

Of course, the gradual end of the slave trade did not mean the conclusion of European interest in Africa. Far from it: colonisation was to do as much damage. Again it was the Portuguese who were in the lead with small-scale endeavours from the end of the 15th century and a settlement at the Cape from 1652. However, what Oliver & Fage call "the colonial fever" was a feature of the 1890s. They make the point that: "The international hysteria which led to partition was caused not by the few European powers who already had small interests in tropical Africa but by a sudden stampede of those powers who had previously had no interests there at all". These were Belgium (actually King Leopold II acting personally) and Germany who joined Britain, France and Portugal and so created "a scramble" that dragged in Italy and Spain and led to European governments claiming sovereignity over all but six of some 40 political units into which they had by then divided the continent (and, of these six, four were more technical than real).

But who is responsible for the "idea & system" of slavery? There was slavery being practiced among the Africans long before the white poeple were even there.

It is a spirit of greed and conquest which exists in the hearts of MANY people no-matter what color.

Bantu you are too angry for reasoning. I hope your family can deal with it in a healthy way.
