yes. It’s another example of african slave trade that lasted long and slaved more people than the chattel slavery. Yet it’s not considered the gravest. A valid rebuttal for:
bro the african slave trade was ongoing for centuries. what the fuck are you on about??
How about this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine
Your dad was probably alive when it happened
If it’s about duration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Saharan_trade lasted longer and it had more victims.
So, it’s about influence on the current day? Silly me, to think the holocaust has more impact on the current world order than the slavery that finished in the 19th century.
and that “1 specific situation” was the industrialised destruction of culture, people, families and minds for centuries.
So it’s about duration? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Saharan_slave_trade This lasted long, wouldn’t this had more impact in the destruction of culture, people and minds?
So it’s about what? Can you explain? Because there’s no metric whatsoever that makes the chattel slavery the abhorrent behaviour with the most affected people, neither the longest one.
So please explain me what does it mean the “gravest” in this context
So it’s about the duration?

There’s even youtube videos os merchants buying slaves in the 60’s.
Maybe you need to learn history from historians and not from tiktoks
I dunno man, it really just smells like they don’t want to pay up for their crimes against humanity
Why does it counts only from 17th century onwards? Why only for 1 specific situation?
the Gravest Crime against Humanity
So now, there’s layers on suffering.
The ones that died on manmade famines, the ones that died on slavery (not chattel), the holocaust, the ones that got tortured by isis, etc… Didn’t endure enough suffering.
