What were you told about the slave trade.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Well, for 1 thing slavery has existed in ALL cultures and races throughout human history in at least one point in time. It was not just a European vs African thing. Since we are here it should also be pointed out that the Europeans did not just go out into the jungles of Africa with nets to catch black slaves: The vast majority of them were captured by - drum roll please - rival African tribes who sold them to the Europeans so stop blaming only 'the white man' for it. The Europeans just provided a much larger market for the slavers to ply their reprehensible trade. There is plenty of blame to be shared all around.

Slave trade is now a thing of the past and we are no longer expecting something like that to ever occur again, this was done in the past during the time where things were not civilized and the rate of peoples exposures are very low, also high international dependencies have caused all these to happen then because many have to depend on the other countries to survive through their own economy.

In my country slavery if taught From a very historial perspective and how it played a role in the development of the country during the colonial era, when we were under the rule of Spain. We also learnt on how the process of the abolishing slavery went through and the ideas of those who supported it helped our society to be more just and equal, regardless of your color of skin and the place of origin.
We also received some classes on modern slavery and how still people is forced to work against their will even in these times where many of us take our freedom for granted.

As part of our education we had to sereach about the inhumane conditions some children from India are supposed to work under, managing dangerous chemical products and receiving no pay, since they were trying to cancel debts acquired by their own family in the past. The concept of slavery in Asia and some African countries seems to be very bonded with credit and credit traps.

Slave mostly happens in Africans and Asians, the Asian girls don't mind raped by "White people" because their baby will be mixed with "White people", they have a privilege than the pure Asians.

maybe this fact seems to be painful for many women in asia, especially in the asean region, because to be honest, there are many women here who are willing to become 'modern slaves' to white people to be able to have mulatto children with better privileges. i know that it's just one way for a woman to get a better life, but even so, it's not much different from 'slaves' like in the past, where they had to give birth, do all the work at home, and then die, just to be able to marry a white person and have the same privileges as them. they just don't care whether it's an old man aged 50 or 60 with 5 children, the most important thing is that they can marry a white person.

I think that's only because we have created a Sense of superiority over our minds for the people of west. They are not that much good because they have destroyed their living and family system. Their women's are almost unaware of the word loyalty and they have extra martial affairs.

Now exceptions are always there but if we talk about the majority of the people then these statements are almost correct.

Yes despite that slave trade has been abolished and can't be practiced, I doubt if there is a total sanity in the system as slave trade still exist in another form as the world is changing so is different techniques is been adopted, just that the magnitude to which this occurred can't be compared in the past, slave trade is Avery painful one , it's still have it's symptoms in our world today example some person engage in convincing fellow human to take them for work and guest what the work is nothing but prostitution, adopting of children and selling all this still have it root as slave trade, as most of this activity still happening in most of the third world countries even in the developed countries still practice it because most the people for prostitution are sent across theirs cities.

Was it in any way helpful to the world economy or brought pain and sorrow to people.

What is the connection of the issues you are wondering about?

I want to pose a nonsense to you that my answer to your problem will help stop the storm in America?

The problem of the slave trade is social, human morality is driven by greed and desire for control.

But I still want to go back to the point that you should be more specific in your opinion about bringing up such a vague topic.

Well, many stories were told that I don't even know what to believe, some say slave trade start when the foreigners came to visit us and they promised us to give them what we have and they will take some of our to the outside country, that is to say ' they train by bather ', so that is how it started. While some told me that, they were kidnap and that some of the Africans were into human trafficking which most of our forces are also part of it, I heard some many stories how slave trading get started which I don't really know which one is true.
