The narrative often propagated by western imperialists - that Africans sold themselves into slavery, has been completely destroyed in this video.

Author and Educator, Robin Walker, debunked this narrative when he appeared recently on a UK based Podcast, “In My Opinion” as a guest, where he was asked about the origins of the European Slave Trade and the popular claim that “Black people sold each other” before the Europeans exploited it.

He explained how early European involvement began with kidnapping, raids, and transatlantic exploitation before evolving into manipulation, destabilization, and the deliberate engineering of conflict for profit. He showed how African societies were targeted, coerced, divided, and weaponized against one another for the benefit of the empires in the global north. Most importantly, he dismantled the lie that reduces a 500-year global crime against humanity into a lazy slogan meant to erase accountability.

For Africans, the message is clear: to know your history is to begin to reclaim your dignity.

Colonialism has never ended it many it is worse today.
