Aborofo - White Slaves: 300 Years Barbary Slave Trade - Fictional 'jesus' Could Not Stop Slavery.
In this episode of our EGUA - Marketplace blogtalkradio broadcast, we address the 300 year Barbary Coast Slave Trade wherein over 2 million white christians where enslaved in North Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) and the Mediterranean by white and non-white muslims between the 16th and 19th centuries of the gregorian calendar. Just as the pseudo-religion of islam and the fictional god 'allah' have been ineffective regarding western eurasian domination of europe and parts of the so-called 'middle east' over the past few centuries, so was the pseudo-religion of christianity and the fictional god 'jesus' ineffective and impotent - thus being unable to 'save' white christians from being enslaved by muslims for 300 years. This speaks to the reality that the enslavement of Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in the western hemisphere had nothing to do with our not submitting the the fictional gods 'allah' and 'jesus'.We examine the trustory in relation to the differences between eurasian notions of 'trade and commerce' and Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) approaches to legitimate trade and commerce rooted in our Ancestral Culture as shown via our OKOM - Economic Development Model.We address our publications:OKOM[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fokom.htmlMOOR[/a] MEANS 'DEAD'[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fnhoma.htmlListen[/a] to all 100+ of our blogtalkradio broadcasts on our channel:www.blogtalkradio.com/odwirafo Download the free e-book versions of our soft-cover books from our NHOMA - Publications page on our website:[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fnhoma.html[/a] Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu Akwamu Nation in North America www.odwirafo.com
White European Slaves on the Barbary Coast
In the first half of the 1500s, Barbary pirates from the Barbary Coast of North Africa, authorized by their governments to attack the shipping of Christian countries.
According to observers of the late 1500s and early 1600s, there were around 35,000 white European Christian slaves held throughout this time on the Barbary Coast - many in Tripoli, Tunis, and various Moroccan towns, but most of all in Algiers. The greatest number were white sailors, taken with their ships, but a good many were fishermen and coastal villagers. Out of all these, the British captives were mostly sailors, and although they were numerous there were relatively fewer of them than of people from lands close to North Africa, especially Spain and Italy. The unfortunate southerners of these territories were sometimes taken by the thousands, by slavers who raided the coasts of Valencia, Andalusia, Calabria and Sicily so often that eventually it was said that 'there was no one left to capture any longer'.
There are no records of how many white European men, women and children were enslaved, but it is possible to calculate roughly the number of fresh captives that would have been needed to keep populations steady and replace those slaves who died, escaped, were ransomed, or converted to Islam.
For the 250 years between 1530 and 1780, the figure could easily have been as high as 1,250,000 to 2,000,000- this is only just over a tenth of the Africans taken as slaves to the Americas from 1500 to 1800, but a considerable figure nevertheless. White slaves in Barbary were generally from the coastlines and impoverished families, and had almost as little hope of buying back their freedom as the Africans taken to the Americas: most would end their days as slaves in North Africa, dying of starvation, disease, or maltreatment.
Many white slaves converted to Islam. Christian women who were taken into the Arab harem (women occupying one living space or compound for domestic slaves, enslaved concubines or wives) often converted to Islamic to stay with their children, who were raised as Muslims.
