Positive effects of slavery in Africa

Positive effects of slavery in Africa

There are no known positive effects of slavery on the victims of slavery who happens to be black Africans also referred to as natives. What this brought to Africans was misery, agony, poverty, sufferings and depressions.

However, slavery had some positive effects on those who perpetrated it and those who practiced it such as the Europeans and the Arabs because it provided cheap labor and made profits for the agents.

Slavery and positives effects of slavery shouldn't be on the same sentence and neither should it be taught in schools.

When you teach young scholars about positive effects of slavery who happens to be the grandchildren of the victims of slavery is arrogance and stupidity of the highest order. This is in respect of bad faith and retrogressive thinking.

Only incompetent, escapists, sadists, racists or psychologically insane people have to immoral audacity to raise such questions.
