When I’m talking about AMERICAN slavery DO NOT bring up EGYPTIAN slavery as a way to “qualify” why it was okay for Africans to be brought to America as slaves.

peaceloveandafropuffs:

If we’re talking about American slavery … that’s what we’re talking about. Also … Whenever people speak about Egypt’s achievements Egyptians are shown as white people (Greeks) but whenever the issue of slavery comes up suddenly the people that owned slavers were black. And because  of this Black Americans aren’t suppose to talk negatively about American slavery?? Really? …
