  1. I didn't see BLM protesting against the resurgence of the black slave trade in the fallen state of libya.

  2.  @oliverfletcher833  History gets erased all the time, Mansa Musa and the Mali Empire has only recently been taught about in western universitys. Do you really think the salve trade could have worked without portraying people as savages? How much other history goes erased for ever, I would guess quite a bit. Narratives are built to fit agendas and a consensus is formed. What we are witnessing here is a starting point for something that is no different. When ever I see a bunch of white people rallying for black rights I already know the agenda even when they don't. Black people in the west are a political tool used to galvanize votes for a system that requires them to maintain a victimised mentality while promising a change that so ironically can only come from the individuals rejections of the same system and concepts of a subjects defect of power. The last thing they wish to promote is the idea of one controlling there own destiny.
