We are NOT talking about any slave trade or even African slave trade. The article is about a man who was part of the last slave ship to the US.

That is what we are talking about. Very much like the left you are trying to generalize a topic Not going to play

“Very much like the left you are trying to generalize a topic”

You are the one who generalized it, with your claim “had white people not been willing to pay for slaves there wouldn’t have been a market”

Also be aware that due to the Napoleonic Code rules of inheritance in Louisiana, many children of slave/slaveowner parents (as “black” as say, Barack Obama, Louis Farrakan, or Jesse Jackson) inherited slaves themselves, upon their parents death. This accumulated to such a percentage by the time of the Civil War, that black slaveowners from Louisiana could field a Brigade on behalf of the Confederacy.

There were thousands of blacks who owned black slaves.

American Indians owned thousands of black slaves.

The first legal slave owner in American history (who established the legal precedent) was a black tobacco farmer in Virginia named Anthony Johnson.

North Carolina’s largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison.

Only a tiny percentage of American whites ever owned slaves - never more than 3% in any state, ever.

You are the one promoting the leftist narrative of collective racial guilt:

“had white people not been willing to pay for slaves there wouldn’t have been a market”
