The Atlantic African Holocaust grew out of the conflict between Christian Europe and Islamic North Africa and the Middle East, which led to naval discoveries/technological advances in shipping that made the Atlantic more easily navigable.

Searching for gold, Portuguese first sailed the Atlantic coast of Africa in the early part of 1430's. Gold and enslavement of Africans by Arabs and ‘Arabized' Blacks was dominated by Arab Islamic Empires (for over 1300 years).  This Arab occupied African territory stretched along Africa's northern coast back to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Muslim pillage routes across the Sahara, for centuries, saw Arabs capturing and selling Africans (mainly women, children and young boys), along with dates, honey, salts, fish, grain, kola, cheap textiles in exchange for gold, spices and articles of Arab use.

For the first 99-136 years (mainly 1441-1540's) European control of the Atlantic coast of Africa and the enslavement of Africans was relatively small in scale, encompassing a few million Africans in destructive scope.  But after the mid 1540's more African people were captured, kidnapped and enslaved by whites to be worked to death in the western hemisphere.  To work to death 69,000,000 over 300,000,000 had to be murdered or denied life at birth.  The vast majority of enslaved African people were originally kidnapped, captured and mass transported to the Caribbean, South America (Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Columbia, the Guyanas), and other parts of Central America. Then they were worked to death in mines, swamps, and on plantations.  This number more than triples the economic benefits to white world economies.

Make no mistake, whites, Jews and Arabs were firmly in charge of this business of death and destruction.  For centuries, they planned, financed, militarily defended, and religiously sanctioned the Holocaust of African enslavement.  Almost all of the Africans who enslaved others became enslaved themselves by the whites and Arabs---then they became subjugated colonies well into the 20^th and 21^st centuries. 

Arab and European slavers, their accomplices raided the western and eastern coasts of Africa with guns, swords and cannons, setting fire to towns and villages. Women caught in these raids were usually sexually abused through rapes: public or private, gang or individual. Children, male or female, endured the worst sexual abuse often leaving them bleeding to death or in a state of permanent shock. European diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea were often passed on to these victims. Captured and bound with ropes, nets, wood, iron, leather or other bindings, the Africans would then set upon a torturous march to the coast where many died along the way.  If they survived the death march to the coast, the dungeons would be the next stop for these captive Africans. Here they were packed into small dirt-floored shacks known as baracoons which held 30 to 50 Africans within a 9 by 13 ft. floorspace covered with vomit, urine, feces and blood. Day and night the temperature within the cell was well over 90 degrees. Dehydration through diarrhea, vomiting and sweating was a common form of death. Here Africans were also branded with hot irons. In such unsanitary conditions, the burns often became infected inducing fevers or gangrene. These hapless victims were clubbed, whipped or shot to death as a warning to other Africans to remain in good health. African women, as would become the routine, were raped repeatedly thus creating a host of unwanted pregnancies. The ground in the women's baracoons was said to often be littered with menstrual blood and aborted fetuses. Hundreds of thousands of Africans died in these dungeons waiting, sometimes for months, to be transported through "the door of no return."

Nameless millions of African women, children and men herded into slave ships, sailing vessels of death and destruction, into the dark, fasten to splintered plank floors, chained ankle to ankle, right foot shackled to the left foot of the person to their right; left foot shackled to the right foot of the person to their left. Less than 13 inches below, another layer of enslaved Africans on another cold, wet, filthy wood floor.  Splinters everywhere, rats, roaches, slimy filth, animal waste, Every time the waves came they slid across these unsanded, splintered floors. Backs skinned to the bone; pain excruciating; prayers to allah, jehovah, god, or whom ever were worth nothing. No fresh air, no light, no toilet---nothing but naked bloody suffering in the cold, dark, dank, dirty dungeons of death and destruction. No way of knowing where they were going, or when, if ever, they would get there. 

Over 2-3 months stapled to a splintered wet floor; sardine-packed, stench of death everywhere; sick just thrown over-board to trails of sharks a football field long; death ship docks; dead bodies tossed, the living dragged to the upper deck then unloaded among these pale-skinned blue eyed murderers, enslavers and rapists; whips in hand, ropes, palm oil, brands, and new chains; loud moans,  unbridled screaming after having been stacked, packed and stowed below decks or between decks for 8 to 10 weeks; unable to sit up, dark, pitch black, the stench of mess everywhere, manacled, not able to change position at all; dead bodies lay chained to each other for weeks---in terms of hell on earth, no arab, jew, white created hell could ever be worst.  When they could, some tried to bring death to themselves when they couldn't jump overboard: they tried to just starve themselves to death. To discourage this these white democrats and fighters for liberty would force the enslaved African to eat by torturing them, whippings, putting on thumb screws in order to break their will; or they would force-feed them by forcing open jaws and forcing food in.

This was all a question of profit (always getting more than was given), wealth, cargo. Whites or Arabs cared no more for Africans than for a cow, sheep, mule, or a sacks of rice---as cargo, it had to be safeguarded.  For African ruling class of chiefs, it's mainly wanting to get extras, not necessities.  And it is an exchange of kidnapped men, women, and children between degenerate Arabs, Europeans and African elites with warring tribes catching tribes, men catching women and children, and those with guns catching and killing those without guns.   Because Europe is more technologically advanced than Africa, Africans could not stop them.  Years go by 10, 50, 100, 500.  Those able to end something would if they could.  History shows they could not.  And so this holocaust swept on like a hemispheric hurricane of racial death and destruction.

Opportunistically, some low life Africans got things that they did not have in exchange for helping the whites, jews and arabs kidnap and enslave children. They wanted guns, in exchange for innocent children they captured.  The enslavers gave groups of Africans guns to raid others for enslavement.  Enslaved Africans were bartered for anything from a cowry shell to a bottle of rum made earlier by other enslaved Africans.  

Those Enslavable will be Enslaved

As a rule, with few exceptions, Blacks did not enslave whites.  The white race would not allow it since the time of Kmt, neither would the Arabs.  Blacks were not making guns, were obviously not technologically equal to the whites, their manufactures were antiquated, they had fallen behind scientifically, and their educational systems were no match for the invaders.  In short, whites made guns and cannons, Blacks could not; just as today they make jet airplanes, computers, robots, computer automated factories, manufacture rockets, nuclear power, etc., and the Blacks (could) but have not. 

Dependent, lacking applied scientific and technological institutions since the fall of ancient African Kmt, Africans owned no ocean faring ships to transport black flesh, no mechanized factories to manufacture clothing, shoes, cannons, guns; and Africans were not preparing for an industrial revolution applied to agriculture.  Science makes technology, technology engineers guns, steel and cannons.  Education based on tested theoretical knowledge is at the foundation of science.  Scientific theory is tested first as hypotheses, then written as formulae, and fact.  Whites had a monopoly on it, arabs had some.  Africans, again, since the fall of high tech ancient African Kmt, had fall behind. 

The whites were making guns, but the Africans were not even making their own ammunition.  The whites were making battle ships, cannons, steel swords and shields; Africans were still making wooden spears, leather shields, and small boats.  Clearly, the populations with the most advanced weapons of war, strategy, and favorable conditions almost always win.  This is why African enslavement lasted over 1700 years if you add together the Arab and European periods.  Africans who were being enslaved were not prepared to stop it, to bring it to an end, to defeat the enslavers.   

Compensatory Damages: United States  (346 years)

On average, enslaved Africans worked some 72 hours per week (12 hours per day, 6 days per week) for 52 weeks (no sick leave), 351 days per year, with the median pay rate (for white laborers) over the 346 years at $1.13 per hour (considering inflation). 

Multiply 72 hours per week times 52 weeks times 346 years times $1.13 per hour times (double for overtime past 8 hours) 43,400,000 Black workers living and dying enslaved in the US, median work lifetime was 19.7 years per person, multiplied by overtime labor for each person times each year, times each hour. 

The enslavement dividend for the US economy: when inflated at 9% (average sliding scale) to 2008 dollars, a staggering compensatory value of over $87.3 trillion dollars (not including punitive damages)---or to put this number in a more visual perspective it amounts to:
 
$1,234,754 per African American currently living in the US, plus:
113 high-tech small universities,
64 state-of-the-art hospitals,
21 state-of-the art construction companies,
19 state-of the art manufacturing plants,
13 million 3-bedroom new houses as homes for 55 million people,
25 medium highways with 100 branch streets and roads,
15 million small motor cycles,
over 6 million new cars and trucks, 
6 years of foodstuffs at 2900 calories per day for 56 million people

The over $87.3 trillion dollar slave contribution is still within the US economy since the dollar has constantly inflated in value, and money (surplus value quantified) like matter in never destroyed; it can be wasted but not destroyed, in an inflationary economy. Therefore, this slave-induced contribution---by far the largest wealth contribution in human history---is still morphing, growing, transposing, working and funding new economic development today.  

This does not include Canada, South America, Central America, the Caribbean or the Arab world.  When considering that 4-6 times more Africans were worked to death in these regions of the world, the total amount owed to Africans could reach over $500 trillion dollars ($500,000,000,000,000).
