I read a book called Negroes in Negroland, which is about the observations of European colonialists and traders who encountered Africans for the first time. It's shocking, like the stuff of nightmares.
Crazy things like the Africans offering food to the European after shaving bits of their ancestor's skulls into the meal, believing that this would give them power over the white man in negotiation. Or a tribe trying to prevent rivals from digging up the corpses of their dead and eating them. Or how a leader of a tribe would just randomly choose one of his slaves to be sacrificed so that his skull could be added to the wall of the leader's hut.
You read these stories and you think, the slaves that were captured and shipped to the US were the lucky ones...

You want to be disgusted by something current, learn about the murders of albinos in Africa. They literally slaughter them like animals to use their body parts for rituals by witch doctors. They most commonly kidnap and slaughter children (at least as young as 1 years old).

🤮 I’ve heard about their “witch doctors”. It’s a sad thing most blacks in America know nothing about it.
