“Africans Sold Africans into Slavery” and Other Fairy Tales that Keep ‘white’ People Safe

Beyond the Fairy Tale: Unmasking the Truth About the Maangamizi

For too long, a convenient myth has dominated the narrative of the Maangamizi (Holocaust of Enslavement): the notion that “Africans sold Africans into slavery.” This fabricated story, designed to protect certain historical actors and sow discord among Black people, crumbles under the weight of historical truth.

It’s time to cut through the lies and rebuild the truth.

Join the esteemed Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Kambon for a groundbreaking presentation that precisely dismantles this deliberately crafted fairy tale. This isn’t just a discussion; it’s a rigorous, documented, and unapologetic exposé that reclaims the narrative using:

• Primary Sources: Go directly to the original documents and accounts that reveal the true nature of the Maangamizi.
• Linguistic Insight: Understand why the very phrase “Africans sold Africans” is historically false and anachronistic – a term no one at the time would have used to describe themselves.
• Historical Documentation: Uncover irrefutable evidence that refutes the prevailing narrative.
• Cultural Logic: Gain a deeper understanding through the lens of African cultural practices and societal structures of the era.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Essential Presentation:

• The Anachronism of “African”: Discover why the concept of “African” as a unified identity did not exist during the initial periods of the Maangamizi, making the idea of “Africans selling Africans” a modern misapplication.
• The True Genesis of the Maangamizi: Learn how this horrific period began as early as 1441 with direct raids and kidnappings by “whites,” not through an organized system of “buying and selling” among Kmtyw (ancient Egyptians) as falsely portrayed.
• Material Proof of Resistance: Explore concrete examples of resistance sites like Gwollu, Nzulenzu, and Ganvié, which stand as powerful testaments to people actively defending themselves against foreign kidnappers, not participating in internal slave trade.
• The Full Extent of “White” Involvement: Confront the comprehensive role of “white” people in the Maangamizi – as raiders, financiers, sellers, insurers, shipbuilders, religious justifiers, arms suppliers, and much more.
• Why the Narrative Persists: Understand the insidious reasons behind the enduring propagation of this false narrative – primarily to keep ‘white’ people safe from retribution and, tragically, to encourage Black people to blame one another.

This presentation is an urgent call to reclaim our history, understand the true mechanisms of the Maangamizi, and dismantle the psychological warfare embedded in these false narratives. It’s a crucial step towards healing, unity, and genuine accountability.

Don’t let fairy tales obscure historical facts any longer. Empower yourself with the truth.
