Yes they did. End

Africans on the continent, in East Africa as well as West Africa, actively encouraged and participated in The Atlantic Slave Trade. This is not a moral justification; it is a historical fact. No matter how some attempt to gloss over or deny this fact. Obviously, there are, if you will, certain permutations, et cetera, nevertheless the fact cannot be denied that some indigenous Africans, social groups, societies, tribes, individuals, were active participants, indeed willing participants in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

← Hamirpur 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 12 Hamitic Races and Languages Hamlet → Sister Projects.sister projects: Wikidata item. See also Hamitic on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer. HAMITIC RACES AND LANGUAGES. The questions involved in a consideration of Hamitic races and Hamitic languages are independent of one another and call for separate treatment. I. Hamitic Races.-The term Hamitic as applied to race is not only extremely vague but has been much abused by anthropological writers. Of the few who have attempted a precise definition the most prominent is Sergi,[1] and his classification may be taken as representing one point of view with regard to this difficult question. Sergi considers the Hamites, using the term in the racial sense, as a branch of his “Mediterranean Race”; and divides them as follows:- 1. Eastern Branch- (a) Ancient and Modern Egyptian (excluding the Arabs). (b) Nubians, Beja. (c) Abyssinians. (d) Galla, Danakil, Somali. (e) Masai. (f) Wahuma or Watusi. 2. Northern Branch- (a) Berbers of the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Sahara. (b) Tibbu. (c) Fula. (d) Guanches (extinct). With regard to this classification the following conclusions may be regarded as comparatively certain: that the members of groups d, e and f of the first branch appear to be closely inter-connected by ties of blood, and also the members of the second branch. The Abyssinians in the south have absorbed a certain amount of Galla blood, but the majority are Semitic or Semito-Negroid. The question of the racial affinities of the Ancient Egyptians and the Beja are still a matter of doubt, and the relation of the two groups to each other is still controversial. Sergi, it is true, arguing from physical data believes that a close connexion exists; but the data are so extremely scanty that the finality of his conclusion may well be doubted. His “Northern Branch” corresponds with the more satisfactory term “Libyan Race,” represented in fair purity by the Berbers, and, mixed with Negro elements, by the Fula and Tibbu. This Libyan race is distinctively a white race, with dark curly hair; the Eastern Hamites are equally distinctively a brown people with frizzy hair. If, as Sergi believes, these brown people are themselves a race, and not a cross between white and black in varying proportions, they are found in their greatest purity among the Somali and Galla, and mixed with Bantu blood among the Ba-Hima (Wahuma) and Watussi. The Masai seem to be as much Nilotic Negro as Hamite. This Galla type does not seem to appear farther north than the southern portion of Abyssinia, and it is not unlikely that the Beja are very early Semitic immigrants with an aboriginal Negroid admixture. It is also possible that they and the Ancient Egyptians may contain a common element. The Nubians appear akin to the Egyptians but with a strong Negroid element. To return to Sergi’s two branches, besides the differences in skin colour and hair-texture there is also a cultural difference of great importance. The Eastern Hamites are essentially a pastoral people and therefore nomadic or semi-nomadic; the Berbers, who, as said above, are the purest representatives of the Libyans, are agriculturists. The pastoral habits of the Eastern Hamites are of importance, since they show the utmost reluctance to abandon them. Even the Ba-Hima and Watussi, for long settled and partly intermixed with the agricultural Bantu, regard any pursuit but that of cattle-tending as absolutely beneath their dignity. It would seem therefore that, while sufficient data have not been collected to decide whether, on the evidence of exact anthropological measurements, the Libyans are connected racially with the Eastern Hamites, the testimony derived from broad “descriptive characteristics” and general culture is against such a connexion. To regard the Libyans as Hamites solely on the ground that the languages spoken by the two groups show affinities would be as rash and might be as false as to aver that the present-day Hungarians are Mongolians because Magyar is an Asiatic tongue. Regarding the present state of knowledge it would be safer therefore to restrict the term “Hamites” to Sergi’s first group; and call the second by the name “Libyans.” The difficult question of the origin of the ancient Egyptians is discussed elsewhere. As to the question whether the Hamites in this restricted sense are a definite race or a blend, no discussion can, in view of the paucity of evidence, as yet lead to a satisfactory conclusion, but it might be suggested very tentatively that further researches may possibly connect them with the Dravidian peoples of India. It is sufficient for present purposes that the term Hamite, using it as coextensive with Sergi’s Eastern Hamite, has a definite connotation. By the term is meant a brown people with frizzy hair, of lean and sinewy physique, with slender but muscular arms and legs, a thin straight or even aquiline nose with delicate nostrils, thin lips and no trace of prognathism.

However he asks how do you sell people. How could your chief for example sell you? If he says " I've just sold you". Will you just go get on the ship? He swears his people did not have an army and therefore did not have the means to collect people in large enough numbers to fill slave ships. And while Fulani certainly are including as Africans today. He points out that during the slave trade they were said to be Arabs. Mixing with Blacks is why many Fulani now are dark. Again not saying what he says is accurate but he will challenge you with old books which describe how slaves were acquired

@@theubbakoderoshow8554My friend, I sincerely don’t get this thing “ Europeans instituted the first slavery based on race “ . I keep hearing this a lot from many black folks in the west and subsaharan Africa as well . Multigenerational slavery ( which in Mauritania was practiced until a few decades ago ) is just as old as other forms of slavery. Here’s what North African Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun 1332-1406 wrote long time before transatlantic slave trade started “ The negro nations are as a rule submissive to slavery Bc negroes have little than is human and poses attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals “ . So only this quote totally debunks that nonsense I hear all the time . Also other Muslim schoolers like Ibn Batlan , Al Muqaddasi etc stated the same . Also even in tropical Africa, especially in Congo, Pygmy people are seen as inferior and kept as slaves for life by their Bantu masters and this is considered “old and honored tradition “ . So I guess you should try to be more careful and do more research not just focus only on transatlantic slave trade of “ white “ man .

It's not about the motherland, but humans. Nearly everywhere on earth, slavery was 'normal' and existed since the birth of recorded history. Most of those colossal ancient monuments people boast about around the world were built by the enslaved. This represents the worst of human greed, vanity, materialism and evil. Modern morals didn't exist. Like all other continents, Africa had kingdoms, empires and ethnic groups that rivalled each other, and some viewed their neighbours as inferior or sub human. That's who they captured and sold, not their 'own people.' Slave traders themselves often got sold by their rivals, meaning the diaspora are the descendents of victims, slave traders and white plantation owners. There were even black or mulatto plantation owners in the New World. Slavery and slave trading is a lot more complicated than blaming any continent or race. Within Africa, only specific regions and kingdoms and tribes participated. A minority of elites and slave traders participated or benefitted, but the rest were victims or potential victims. We cannot explain why some humans at that time though the way they did, but unfortunately that's part of human history.

My mainstay is that American slavery is marked by chattel slavery which is comparatively different from old world slavery as practiced in the rest of the world. Nothing good about slavery everywhere. The key point is that American slavery changed everything. I know about Mungo Park.

@@theubbakoderoshow8554 I agree American slavery was horrible, very cruel, and many slaves died on the voyage as they were crammed into the cargo holds in horrible conditions. However Islam had slavery for 1400 years and they were much crueler than white European slave traders. Islam took two women for every one man, and made the women sex slaves or concubines. The men had their genitals cut off and became eunichs. Most babies were killed at birth which is why most Islamic countries have very few black Africans, unlike here in the USA where blacks are 12% of the population. A much higher death rate also occurred during transport as the slaves were not given sufficient water or food. So most slaves died horrible deaths and never even made it to the Islamic places where they would be enslaved. I hear much talk about the Atlantic slave trade and particularly our American form of chattel slavery, which was very cruel, but we need to keep it in perspective. Islam had slavery far longer and exhibited far more cruelty that the white Europeans who had slavery for around 400 years compared to the 1400 years Islam practiced it.

My brother, you should look into what happened over the 100 years before the selling of these slaves. Even back to 1490 ish in Portugal. There were already earlier slaves from Helena, Angola and most of them were slaves who escapes persecution in Portugal. The King and Queen of Portugal said specifically to capture them. Look into Trans Atlantic Slave grade and Igbos. It will lead you to Eboo and heboo because they would ask them their nations). These same slaves have biblical names. The people who took them were so sure who they were looking for that they named the parts of the Caribbean countries after their family priest lines. Look into it.

Some good points there. To add to that, one of the things less often mentioned is that Africa is a vast super-size continent with many regions, many nations, many peoples of many different languages, cultures and skin tones, and in the relevant historic centuries, a tribes-people in a region of the continent was not going around thinking "I am African." They were not thinking "what am I as an African doing to Africans?" They would identify with the names of their family and tribe, not the name of a super-size continent. Likewise, they would identify by family and tribe, not by skin tone, not thinking "I am black" or "what am I as a black person doing to black people?" Darker skin tones were the norm. There was no reason for peoples to think "I am black" in a reductionist way when they could think of themselves by the names of families and tribes. That's why it is a mistake when people say "Africans sold Africans" or "blacks sold blacks" because probably none of them was thinking by those categories. It is better simply to think in terms of families and tribes capturing and selling people from rival families and tribes. Saying "Africans sold Africans" gets in the way of understanding how they saw it. Sure we can say that people hail from the African continent, but over-simplified terms like "Africans" or "in Africa" - except where unpacked with more nuance like in this video - are misleading. We must remember that slavery was racialised by foreign enslavers, not by peoples of sub-Saharan African regions.

Europeans would have done the same with their heretics, criminals or infidels. The difference is that in Africa for these people there was slavery, while in Eruope there was persecution. Africa, like many other parts of the world, had its rules for crimes such as adultery, witchcraft, theft, murder, rape etc. With war priseoners( the most number of slaves) these categories were enslaved and often the condition of slavey was hereditary. As you said it's true that Africa is a vast super-size continent with many regions, many nations, many peoples of many different languages, cultures and skin tones. Europe is much smaller than Africa and, for much of history, had fewer inhabitants as a result. Yet it doesn't seem to me that Europeans were that "beacon of brotherhood" ( Napoleonic wars, religious wars, two world wars, etc). Africa is a heterogeneous continent inhabited by MANY different people. Of course there was wars, killing, slaveries ecc.. (still stoday for many reasons). In Africa there were tribal societies such as village communities, but also kingdoms and empires with their hierarchies. For example, if I were born in 1700 in the Kingdom of Dahomey, what could I have to do with certain "village communities" in forest Africa? Nothing! I'm sure that afroamericans feel much more "american" than "african" and they are not wrong. Black people in Usa, despite their history of slavery and oppression, have contributed a lot and actively to american culture ( just remember jazz, blues, rock, rap and so on). The difference is the following: africans were "NEGROES" in Usa, were "ABEED" in the islamic world and in Africa they could be everything: war prisoners enslaved (even sacrificed in some places), criminals, kings, enemies of other tribes, warriors, member of a family eccc..

Hundreds of thousands of white indentured servants came to N. America as slaves for term. Many died during their term of service, and all were subject to being sold, treated as chattel, could be beaten, abused etc...as with the Africans.

I know you are brilliant, that is because you gave details, as for example Toppo Tip or Tippo tippo, the ' arabised' Zanzibarian midde man who ended up not being midde man bu being an actual slave trader; a guy who already got immensely rich selling ivory , gold and else to the arabs, mostly from Oman couldn't resist betraying his people from the interior or inland Africa. Peoples were becoming the new commodities! Sad? Ys it is. Saying that africans sold their own is far fetched, as they was corruption and greed, kind of, just like today! What can I say! It is a human ingeained mentality to deposess others, by any.means possible, including eliminatimg them! It easily depicted in evil ways... so difficult to understand! People is people! There is the good, the bad, and the ugly! That Tippo Tip eastern africa shameful trade isn't even talked about, most of you hear is only West Africa. Africans were taken from all over the place; they were spread all over the Americas, with the majority in South America, then the Carrabeans, and what may be called the US, today. Lots were forced to move from the Carrabean islands to the south of the US, where they were sold to new 'owners'. Demand and offer! It's where lands were more or, should one say Slaves. Such terrrible and inhumane type of slavery shouldn't have happened if Europe wasn't involved. In Africa, and in Europe were still existing, AT THE SAME TIME, though the conditions weren't the same! Theee was no concept of 'Blacks should be enslaved'; that is because 'whites enslaved whites' Look it up! It's later, when some highwr place authorities eatablished narratives of colorism to justify the evil praxtice. You heard me!

The whole situation is sad. I am a 42 year old man. That because of the slave trade...and being the son who's dad is the baby in his family.I can't pull my family history past my grandma. Where are my people from? Who am I? I can do a DNA test. Sure. But they say sometimes they withhold info from you because the government may owe you money due to the area your ancestors were captured from. I don't know if true. But it's all sad. I mean even to simple stuff like what to use or not use in my daughter's hair...or on our skin. So much to deal with. I recently found out my mom's grandma (no name) was white....my dad's grandma (no name) was Indian...but I'm black as the night Michael Jackson shot Thriller...it's just so much.

I can't pull myself my family history past my grand father, because he was a war orphan, just like my grandmother, and they didn't know their heritage. What does it matter? You belong the place where you were born, if you don't know anything more, and that should be enough to anyone. Your grand grand mother was white, or Indian, so? in a space of two or three generation, the color disappear; the kids of a white and a black are lighter, but the grandkids are already darker, and next generation has no trace of the 'different' color

I believe so because we never hear of a war like the native american war in Africa

Thank you bruh for doing this work. Too many black folks are clueless!

There is so much to say but firstly there was no such thing as an African. An African person is a western construct. Africa was divided by tribes or ethnic groups. So you are either an indigenous person of this or that ethnic group. People were sold for all kinds of reasons in the internal markets and or as prisoners of war. There was no love lost between the sold and the sellers. As for the argument that the collusion between locals traders and buyers and agents when it did happen was on a minuscule scale is disingenuous to say the least. A trade which dislodged millions of people over hundred of years can never be described as minuscule. It would have taken a tremendous number of people engaged in the process to service such huge swathe of people taken from the African continent. Well the wickedness is still happening today in 5 African countries slavery is still being practiced today and people are still selling others inside Africa and in other parts of the world.

So no Africans did not sell Africans into slavery.

[7]Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: [8]And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

The Africans who enslaved people also sacrificed them. For example when a chief died they would sacrifice a slave. I don’t know how much rights slaves in Africa had when they could be sacrificed. Slavery is horrible any way you look at it. The slave trade in Africa was going on forever back to the Egyptian era.

Africans didnt practice chattel slavery. Their form of slavery usually lasted for a select amount of time. No rape or constant oppression. Most slaves that were sacrificed were usually felons or committed some form of treason (usually)

Slavery was ended in the United States to benefit whites. It was no longer economically productive in the South. The North had ended slavery earlier and had a better economy than the South. Paid laborers were more profitable than slaves. The people of the North and the South also had different cultures that led them to have different beliefs about work. Those Europeans were from different parts of the British Isles and carried their culture and behaviors with them to the U.S. Southerners obviously fought to keep slavery and their culture because they wanted a more relaxed life

is there a real question? everyone know the answer, slave trade was possible just with the collaboration of African itselves. Turks, Arabs, Europeans, were not capable to survive long in subsaharian climate, and especially europeans were far away from their territories, so they couldn't simply enter in a country and kidnapping people without being slaughtered by inhabitants. Maybe just the Portoguese could act that way, from their possession in Africa

Slavery is wrong in all its form and trying to sugar coat the history of African slavery (like the video creator admits to doing in the comment by bluewaters below) is counter productive. Africans sold other africans into slavery, this was not a rare occurrence, when Europeans showed up to buy slaves they did so with the permission of local chiefs, any attempt to sugar coat this is just an attempt at shifting 100% of the blame on the Europeans for their exercises in slavery, when basic logic says the person buying the slave and the person selling the slave into slavery are equally guilty.
