The Rise Of The West Began With The African Slave Trade

Its not about black people as slaves, they was sold out by their own people in africa to the european slavers (yes european, i know for a fact holland where im from had a part in it too, as well as england, france and w/e other country here) so there was people in africa who had benefits of seeling their own people, both sides is wrong if you ask me. nobody is owned by anyone, and im glad we in a age where slavery is gone.
with all respect but spain has almost no influence in europe, never had too, they used to have a big fleet but they was destroyed by the dutch centuries ago, and it always used to be england, holland and germany (and france from time to time) dominating europe's directions. so all your arguments with spain in it can be disregarded right away.
"Shakur Abdul-Latif's Definition Of Hip-Hop" youre an attention whore in its purest form, just looking to get arguments started to get some attention, and yes since you seem to know so much about europe, like seer said travel here next time, if you come to holland hit me up on this forum and we can hook up to see who is right, fool you dont want it with me you idiot ;D

Okay, so you mentioned other nations were involved in the slave trade. That still doesn't refute the fact that the British Empire was biult on the backs of slaves! That's like me saying that Shaq is a good NBA player because he's tall; and you tell me no he's not because Kevin Garnett is tall.
The only person that came with something useful in this thread was Jamal.
I said that the British Empire was biult on the backs of slaves, and instead of coming with a legitimate counter-argument, you guys just made a few weak personal attacks on me; and tried to shift the blame by saying blacks sold other blacks, and other European nations (Dutch, you said) were involved.
My thread wasn't about... "Ohhh, the British are the worst people in the world because they have slaves." Then your arguments might have been useful cause you would have shown how others had done the same and tried to claim that that would make them equally as bad (although then I would have had to bring up that American slavery was racist and possibly the most brutal form of slavery ever; but that's a different arguement and subject alltogether).

Don't all of Infinite's posts have the same underlying messeage? Convert to Islam.
Don Rizzle:
1) The British empire was built on trade and commerce
2) The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act was passed by the British Parliament on 25 March 1807, in 1833 it was abolished in the colonies aswell
3) The industrial revolution didn't start until about 1830, although its beginnings were about a century prior to this
4) From 1839 Britain used its naval supremacy to pursue boats carrying slaves from Africa, a crime punishable by death
