Nobody can accuse Spike of being “a smart guy”
I grew up in Mozambique and for some reason I enjoyed hanging out with old black men, and I learned a lot from them. STOP SAYING SLAVES WERE STOLEN!
Slaves were not their best citizens. Even in the 1970’s there were 2 tribes at walking distance from my house. I walked into both but my black friends from the other community were not allowed.
SLAVES were the trouble makers. Before slaves were traded, the trouble makers were placed in an island in the ocean, a place they walked onto during low tide. Then they would drown in high tide. Once they learned about the slave trade, they kept people from other tribes who would get caught in their community, whether from stealing stuff or trying to get a girlfriend from their community. Remember, there were no prisons, they just killed the bad actors. Trading them was a better option for them. Australia was a place the British sent their prisoners to. Mozambique and most other countries in Africa kept killing the bad apples until they learned that other countries took them in trade for food and other things. South America got most of the slaves, because it was a short distance. America already had blacks living in freedom, and the American blacks were the first to use black slaves… and I bet Spike Lee is related to slave owners in America.
