Chapter 1208 The Return of the Black Slaves

While the two were talking, they also started to head towards the beer hall. Even at the end of the working day, the streets of Falta New District were bustling with people.

"Hey, look? That car should be full of black people!" Mars suddenly touched Anton with his arm and said.

I saw an East African pioneer brand car rushing through the street. This large transport car commonly seen in East Africa naturally had no old men, but the people on the car were particularly eye-catching.

Anton also looked in the direction pointed by Mars. Sure enough, a car carrying a group of black people came in their direction. No, it should be said that there were a lot of black people. Not far behind this car, there were several similar cars.

"By the way, it is indeed rare to see black people in East Africa. I remember that there were still many black people in East Africa when I was a child, but I only heard about it from my parents. When we were old enough to remember, we could no longer see them in the village. Later, when we came to the west, we occasionally saw them at construction sites on both sides of the railway." Anton said.

As time goes by, black people have become a real rarity in East Africa. Now, black people in East Africa are just legends even for some uninformed East Africans.

Anton and Mars were able to see black people before, thanks to the place they came to. The West can be said to be the last gathering place of black people in East Africa, but in these years, it has become a rare species in East Africa.

Mars said leisurely: "I remember that a few years ago, you could still see black engineering teams in many places. This should be the first time we have seen black people in the past year, and there are so many black people, and it seems that they are probably not 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 prematurely aged due to their age and excessive labor intensity.

In recent years, with the improvement of productivity in East Africa and the further development of agriculture, the overflow of grain production has made the food of black people in East Africa not very bad, and even strengthened.

However, this improvement in food cannot offset aging and high-intensity work, so the body shape of black people naturally cannot appear to be more robust.

The eyesight of East Africans in this era was generally good, so Anton and Mars could clearly see the white hair on the black people in the vehicle from a distance of several meters.

Because of 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 mixed white hair forms patches of white scars on the top of the head, which is more eye-catching against the background of their black skin.

"These black people look old and frail. They are probably shipped to Farta during this period to be shipped overseas!" Mars guessed.

Although the East African government is very taboo about the black slaves under its rule, it will not release any news.

Therefore, most East African citizens are very clear about the East African government's treatment of black people, that is, leaving the land but not the people. In the early years, East African blacks were even one of the main sources of slave trade in the international market.

It can be said that East Africa has forcibly extended the timeline of the world's large-scale black slave trade to the end of the 19th century, when even West Africa had already openly banned the slave trade.

Of course, this is related to the transformation of the world's population structure. Over the past few hundred years, the Americas have been greatly developed, and there is no shortage of white people, so there is no need to purchase labor from black Africa on a large scale.

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, who are middlemen who make a profit from the price difference.

Over the past few hundred years, black people have taken root and multiplied in the American continent for several generations, with a population of tens of millions, which is probably not much less than West Africa, where the world's largest distribution of black people is now. In this case, selling black slaves from Africa to America is completely unnecessary.

In the last century, the fundamental reason why East Africa was able to play the black slave trade was that the East African government subsidized slave ships and slave traders, which made the East African version of the slave trade unprofitable at all, and this kind of "charity" black slave trade was obviously impossible for profit-seeking European slave traders to do so.

Moreover, the colonies of European countries have also undergone great changes. In the past, the focus of European colonies was on the American continent, and several traditional colonial powers once had vast colonies in America.

Today, the focus of European countries' colonies has shifted to West Africa and Asia, and West Africa and Asia are not the Americas hundreds of years ago. These two regions have never lacked population.

The most typical example is India. If the population density of the American Indians was half of that of India, I am afraid that Europeans would not need to transport black slaves from Africa to the plantations in America. After all, the slave trade also requires costs.

Mars said: "Although it is undeniable that black slaves have contributed important forces to the development of the empire, I also agree with the firm attitude of the imperial government. Leaving these blacks in East Africa will only cause hidden dangers in the future. This is the case in American society today, so we cannot follow the old path of the United States."

The East African government has always used the United States as a reference for the public opinion on the stay or departure of blacks. After all, the United States is now the world's largest black country, and the blacks who have lost their restraints have caused a large number of social problems in American society.

Although the black problem in the United States has not yet 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 grassroots backbones of gangs recruit from the black community. As time goes by, black people will definitely become a profound social problem in American society in the future, unless the current US government changes its attitude towards black people, but this is obviously impossible.

Anton said: "In short, I definitely don't want the country to keep black people. I don't want to give black people in my country an equal attitude. I'm afraid most people have the same idea. In this case, the hatred between the empire and the black community will naturally not be eliminated. If we learn from the United States after the Civil War and give them national status, it will only be a disaster."

East Africa's oppression of black people can be said to be deep-rooted, so it is impossible for East Africa to live in peace with the black community. Anton does not think that he can be generous enough to get rid of narrow-minded thinking and put black slaves at the bottom of the contempt chain in East African society on the same level as himself.

Mars also said: "I support your view. It is quite difficult to educate black people. After all, they lack a history of civilization. They cannot integrate into modern society."

"You can see this by looking at the current situation of black people in the United States and other American countries. Now black people in America are basically equal to criminals. For these black people, the best place for them is to return to the prairie and play with wild animals, rather than being at a loss in modern society."

Anton said: "Now the slave trade has completely stopped, and the age of these black people is obviously impossible to be sold to America as slaves, so the government's treatment of them is probably as you said, to return them to the prairie, but the prairie in West Africa."

The means of dealing with black people in East Africa are traceable. As long as they do not die in East Africa, the destination of black people is to be exiled to other parts of the world. In the past, it was America and West Africa, and now it can only be West Africa.

As Anton said, the age of black people in East Africa is not young anymore. It is impossible for them to be sold as slaves to other countries as labor, and East Africa is also impossible to be responsible for their retirement.

Therefore, the final destination of these blacks is predictable, which can only be the relatively chaotic West African region. Although that is where the colonies of European countries are located, European countries now do not have the energy to care about the "population garbage" that East Africa throws into West Africa.
