There is no excuse for slavery of any kind. That said, the Africans who sold other Africans into slavery are a very important part of the history of slave trade.

Along those lines, Joy Reid supports a political party (D) that has re-enslaved African Americans by making them dependent on government handouts and contributing to new societal norms that have contributed to the breakdown of the African American family. What does she do that is a positive for American blacks?

She is simply a hateful racist.

Slavery existed throughout history. White men did not invent it. But Christian white men did more to eradicate it than any other group in history.
