Now we shall have an overview at each of the 3 primary categories of pre-European slavery.
AFRICAN-AFRICAN SLAVERY
This phase of slavery holds the distinction of being both the least generally practiced AND the longest sustained tradition of slavery within Africa.The reason that African-African slavery is the most ancient practice in Africa AND THE WORLD is because Africa has the oldest and most venerable empire in human history.The massive federation of autonomous and semi-autonomous empires that resulted in the mighty over-arching empire of Wose aka Ethiopia also required the assimilation of ethnic groups and clans which are the constituent parts of an empire or kingdom.This assimilation was achieved by both willing federations and military might.In accordance with ancient tradition,the most obstreperous clans who lost in war were forced into slavery.Since Wose=mega empire composed of empires whose dawn seems lost in the mists and shrouds of history,and a part of the consolidation of Wose=slavery,then a part of the history of slavery=African on African slavery that also predated history.And it predated any form of known slavery that the younger (non-African) races practiced.African slavery was distinctly more humane than White Asian and European and even Oriental slavery...but it was still horrible.Yes,dissenting clans were oftentimes expelled from the lands they occupied and allowed to survive in other regions.Yes this practice is infinitely more humane than the treatment Africans received from non-African invaders.But those dissenting surviving clans oftentimes survived while being pursued in full flight,with the hindmost being captured and enslaved by the victors.The Afrocentric scholars who dispute this are not being honest and are refuting one of the most basic concepts of empire building even in Africa.This qualification is vital,because the African culture provides a unique worldview that no other culture or group could hope to echo in its entirety or even half way.In many may ways,the Africa traditional worldview is incredibly patient,forgiving and nonviolent.Many ideas and institutions that are common in other cultures either don't exist in traditional Africa or take on entirely different meanings in traditional Africa.The European and Arabic and other non-Africans who champion these distant and relatively rare occurences of African slavery as being the horrific savagery that made European and Arabic racial slavery the more enlightened and genteel alternative are even more heinous in their duplicity.
AFRICAN-ORIENTAL SLAVERY
This story is so ancient and convoluted that it's quite difficult to summarize.Suffice it to say that the slavery between Africa and the orient was mostly practiced in the area that many millenia later would be called the Middle East and India,that the very first Dynasty of China were indeed African,that the "terra cotta warriors" of China were faithfully rendered African warriors (and both the European "scholarly" establishment AND the nationalistic Chinese whom conspired to tell the world otherwise are entirely aware of their deliberate heinous duplicity) that may of the first samurai were African,that the entire history of martial arts was started in Africa and the greatest and most seminal figure in martial history and oriental history--"Buddha"--is African.To my knowledge,Africa and the Orient never engaged in mutual or unilateral race specific slavery in anything approaching the manner of the White Asians or the Europeans.There seems to be some evidence of slavery being practiced between the two most ancient empires in human history and the two eldest branches of humanity,but it was relatively negligible in volume,extremely ancient and seems to have been ended long before the rise to prominence of any European or White Asian empire (AFRICANS IN EARLY ASIA,DESTRUCTION OF BLACK CIVILIZATION,Runoko Rashidi,Dr.Ivan van Sertima,John G.Jackson)
WHITE ASIAN-AFRICAN SLAVERY
The Arabs whom oftentimes voice cries of solidarity with Africans and decry European penetration into Africa are merely and literally the cruel pre-European slavers whom the Europeans' own slavery checked and enslaved in the very midst of the Africans whom the Arabs were enslaving and brutalizing prior to the European arrival.There are records proving this fact beyond even the remotest dispute stretching back to several centuries prior to 3100 B.C. 3100 B.C. is the time of Menes--the African Pharoah who expelled the White Asian government that had taken over 1/4 of the previously all-Black Northern Wose,who reunited all of Wose under her primary and traditional African populace,and whose name the Greeks recorded and imbued with the first importance.For Menes is the creator of the city known in its traditional African tongue as Hikuptah,"the mansion of the soul of Ptah",and which the Greeks named in their tongue...MEMPHIS. Menes is also the Pharoah whom the Greeks named in their tongue "Aigyptos"...and through the corruption of time,"Aigyptos" became EGYPT,and EGYPT became the name of a portion of the land that Menes ruled.
At no time did the majority or even half of the White Arabs have any true brotherhood for Africans.There were the sincere minorities of White Asians who were born in Nowe (Egypt) and whom fought (millenia later) all intruders White,Brown,Black,Asian,or whatever as national Egyptians,but they are the exception that proved the rule.The story of White Asians (Semites) is mostly the story of their relentless aggression against Africans.
The story of the Semites known as the Hyksos circa 1720 B.C.--whom later became known as the Children of Israel according to the historian Josephus--is also the story of invaders whom came to Nowe (Egypt) with the sole purpose of exterminating the native Black populace and replacing them.Failing in that attempt,they settled down to rule Nowe as the 13th and 16th dynasties and stayed on as a powerful influence for 250-400+ years,depending upon the writers whom are cited.Their power was broken and they were expelled en masse during the 18th Dynasty.They retreated to Palestine and formed Jerusalem.Nowe struck back and enslaved both Jerusalem AND Egypt's long time enemy, invader and enslaver: Syria.It should be noted that the greatest Hebrew invasion occured about 600 years before Moses and the Captivity.
What this means,bluntly,is that the ancestors of the Europeans whom have appropriated the names "Hebrew" and "Jew" exclusively for themselves are historical aggressors upon and enemies of traditional Africa.Moses would have never needed to tell Pharoah to let his people go if Moses' people hadn't aggressed upon and tried to exterminate Pharoah's people in the first place.
