Chapter 1208 The Return of the Black Slave
While the two were talking, they also started to head towards the beer hall. Even after get off work hours, there were still people coming and going on the streets of Falta New District. It was very lively.
"Hey, look! That car should be full of black people, right?" Mars suddenly touched Anton with his arm and said.
I saw an East African Kaoru brand car speeding past on the street. Naturally, there were no old men in this large transport car, which is common in East Africa, but the people on board were particularly attractive.
Anton also looked in the direction Mars pointed, and sure enough, a car carrying a group of black people came towards them. No, it should be said that it was a carload of black people, across the car Not far behind the car, there were several other similar cars.
"By the way, it is indeed rare to see black people in East Africa. I remember that there were more black people in East Africa when I was a child, but I only heard about it from my parents. When we remember, we could no longer see it in the village. When we came to the west later, , I only saw it occasionally at some construction sites on both sides of the railway." Anton said.
As time goes by, black people have become a real rarity in East Africa, and now black people in East Africa are just legends even to some uninformed East Africans.
Anton and Mars were able to see black people before because of the place they came to. The west can be said to be the last gathering place for black people in East Africa, but in these years Here, it has also become a rare species in East Africa.
Mars Youyou said: "I remember that a few years ago, you could still see engineering teams composed of black people in many places. This should be the first time we have seen black people in this year. There are still so many black people, and It seems that they are not too young.”
The black people in the car are obviously a little old, and their relatively thin bodies seem to be malnourished, but in fact they are because of their age and labor. Premature aging caused by excessive intensity.
In recent years, with the increase in productivity in East Africa and the further development of agriculture, the overflow of food production has made the food of black people in East Africa not very bad, and has even been improved.
However, this improvement in diet cannot offset aging and high-intensity work, so it is naturally impossible for black people to appear stronger.
East Africans in this era generally had good eyesight, so Anton and Mars could clearly see the white hair on the black hair on the vehicle even though they were several meters apart.
Due to the characteristics of the race, even if the hair of black people is long, it will be curled up, so it does not look very long, and the white hair mixed in forms white scars on the skull. It looks more eye-catching against its black skin.
"These black people look like they are old and decrepit. If they are shipped to Falta at this time, they are probably going to be shipped overseas!" Mars guessed.
Although the East African government is very taboo about the black slaves under its rule, it does not want to let out any information.
So most East African citizens are very aware of the East African government's treatment of black people, which is to leave no land but no people. Even in the early years, black people in East Africa were one of the main sources of slave trade in the international market.
It can be said that East Africa forced the timeline of the world's large-scale black slave trade to continue until the end of the 19th century. At that time, even West Africa had completely banned the slave trade.
Of course, this is related to the transformation of the world's population. Over the past few hundred years, the Americas have been greatly developed, and there is no shortage of white people. Naturally, there is no need to purchase labor from black Africa on a large scale.
Even to put it bluntly, black people in the United States, Brazil and other American countries can already produce and sell their own products, and no longer need European slave traders as middlemen who make profit from the price difference. Over hundreds of years, black people have taken root and multiplied in the American continent for several generations, with a population of tens of millions. Even in West Africa, which has the largest number of black people in the world, it is probably not much better. In this case, black slaves were sold from Africa. Going to America is completely unnecessary.
The fundamental reason why East Africa was able to operate the black slave trade in the last century was because the East African government subsidized slave ships and slave merchants, which made the East African version of the slave trade unprofitable at all. Similar to the "charitable" black slave trade, profit-seeking European slave traders obviously could not do this.
Furthermore, the colonies of European countries have also undergone great changes. In the past, the center of Europe's colonies was on the American continent. Several traditional colonial powers once had vast colonies in the Americas.
Nowadays, the colonial focus of European countries has turned to West Africa and Asia. West Africa and Asia are not the Americas a few hundred years ago. These two regions have never lacked populations.
The most typical one is India. If the Indians in the Americas had half the population density of India, I am afraid that the Europeans would not need to transport black slaves thousands of miles from Africa to the plantations in the Americas. After all, the black slaves Slave trade also requires costs.
Mars said: "Although it is undeniable that black slaves contributed an important force to the development of the empire, I also agree with the imperial government's resolute attitude. Keeping these black people in East Africa will only cause hidden dangers in the future. Today, the United States Society is like this, so we can’t follow the old path of the United States.”
The East African government has always taken the United States as a guide when it comes to the decision of black people. After all, the United States is now the largest black country in the world. Restricted black people have caused a large number of social problems in American society.
Although the black problem in the United States has not affected the interests of white Americans due to their low status, this trend has become increasingly obvious.
The influence of black people on the dark side of American society is becoming increasingly profound. A large number of gangs’ grassroots backbones recruit from the black group. As time develops, black people will definitely become a profound social problem in American society in the future, unless the U.S. government now Change attitudes towards black people, but this is clearly impossible.
Anton said: "In short, I definitely don't want the country to keep black people. I am not willing to give the black people in this country an equal attitude. I am afraid that most people have the same idea. In this case, what will happen between the empire and the black group? The hatred among people cannot be eliminated. If we follow the example of the United States after the Civil War and grant them national status, we will only create trouble. ”
The oppression of black people in East Africa can be said to be deep into the bones, so it is impossible for East Africa to live in peace with the black community. Anton does not think that he can generously get rid of his narrow thinking and put the black slaves at the bottom of the contempt chain in East African society on the same level as himself. of equal status.
Mars also said: "I support your view. It is quite difficult to educate black people. After all, they lack a history of civilization and cannot integrate into modern society."
"Look This can be seen from the current situation of black people in the United States and other American countries. Now black people in America are basically equated with criminals. For these black people, the most suitable place for them is to return to the prairie and game with wild animals instead of At a loss in modern society."
Anton said: "Now the slave trade has completely stopped, and these black people are obviously too old to be sold to the Americas as slaves, so the government is dealing with them. , I’m afraid, as you said, releasing them into the grasslands is just the grasslands of West Africa.”
The methods of dealing with black people in East Africa are traceable. As long as they do not die in East Africa, the fate of the black people will be determined. Even if they are exiled to other parts of the world, it used to be the Americas and West Africa, but now it can only be West Africa.
As Anton said, black people in East Africa are no longer young. It is impossible for them to be used as slaves and sold to other countries as laborers. It is also impossible for East Africa to be responsible for providing for them in their old age.
So the final destination of these black people can be imagined. It can only be the relatively chaotic West Africa. Although it is the colony of European countries, now European countries do not have the energy to manage East Africa and move to West Africa. Throw away "population garbage".
