  1. My mother's name is Scottish as well. Abernathy, which is also very rare. As black people, we often talk about the sins of the Europeans, while we ignore the role that African leaders played in the trans atlantic slave trade. African leaders sold millions or maybe billions of slaves to Arabs and Europeans. Also, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to actually snatch African and enslaved them in Portugal as early as the 1440s. The economy of many African countries was based on slavery- trading arms, umbrellas, and mirrors for human beings. I know this is hard to accept, but these are facts. It was the Europeans who attempted to abolish it, not the Africans. As we know, most African slaves ended up on Portuguese ( Brasil, Cape Verde, and Sao Tome e Principe) colonies. And they didn't abolish slavery in their colonies until 1888. That's about 450 years of slavery and Portugal is still poor.
