      The chief export of the kingdom of Dahomey was black slaves. There would have been no slavery in the new world without Dahomey which was one of the most evil kingdoms in the history of the world.

Many of us descend from the Aboriginal or native blacks who existed in the United States before slavery. Realize that only 6% of transatlantic slave trade benefited the United States. That's only 6% of African slaves that were transported to the United States so that means throughout the millions of black slaves that were in the United States only a few came from Africa the other ones were taken from their homes throughout the United States various tribal black people who lived in America for thousands of years. So for you took automatically assume that we foundational black Americans have an obligation to you it's false because we are realizing who we are where we actually came from which is already the United States so your pan-african logic should be directed towards black people in South America parts of Central America the Caribbean and that's it.

    Film synopsis: “In the 1800s, a group of all-female warriors protects the African kingdom of Dahomey with skills and fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Faced with a new threat, Gen. Nanisca trains the next generation of recruits to fight against a foreign enemy that's determined to destroy their way of life.” - Google (original author not mentioned)
    What the film left out: Their way of life being kílling their neighbors, enslavíng the survívors, mass human sacrífice and canníbalism. Their fíght was about keeping this way of life (that had been going on in Afríca for thousands of years).
    The main conflíct with whíte Europeans during King Ghezo's reign came through the efforts of the British and French to bring an end to the słave trade, human sacrifíce and canníbalism. “The słave trade has been the ruling principle of my people. It is the source of their glory and wealth. Their songs celebrate their victories and the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery." - King Ghezo (King of Dahomey).

When it comes to atrocities against Africans many people have a dismissive attitude. This movie is suppose to be based on a true story yet it completely leaves out an essential part of what the tribe did.

    Weird they based it on the Dahomey. They were notorious slavers that sold their own race. They only stopped when the British Royal Navy blockaded their ports. The war they had with the French also didn't go quite as the film suggests. Thousands of Dahomey were wiped out with only a handful of French losses. Good work Hollywood!
