Yea, this is why I said these numbers are all lowballs, because if there were just under 4 million in 1860, how many were there total from beginning to end? That number is much bigger and same goes for the white slaves the Barbary pirates had. The Arab slave trade of several “races” was much bigger than the transatlantic too, nobody talks about that lol I live in the USA so I focus on it for that reason.

Once the modern state came about it dwarfed those slavery numbers. The modern state is much more efficient at running massive slavery operations.

I’m not going to lie, every time I hear talk of reparations I immediately imagine how much btc I could buy with it 😂
