In regards to a previous comment about this specific article

This slave ship would not have come to the US had people not been buying slaves

That is a true market statement. The white portion is because in all of the US more whites owned slaves than otherwise

Your “white” assumption is the logical leap, and it fits the leftist narrative of white guilt for slavery. Were these slaves, on that ship, marketed in Indian territory (where more non-whites in the US owned slaves than otherwise), to the many black slave owners, or into nearby Mexico, or back to the Carribean?
