I am getting so sick of this "The white man enslaved the black race" stuff.
Weren't something like 97% of slaves in America actually people who had been SOLD BY BLACK SLAVE TRADERS, they were PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN CAPTURED IN WARS BETWEEN VARIOUS TRIBAL FACTIONS, from what I hear, A PRACTICE THAT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY!!!

White slave traders bought black African slaves near the coast of Africa. Whites Europeans were so susceptible to certain tropical diseases that they could not go beyond the coastal areas without dying. The slave trade was a huge human horror, but it was not possible without black Africans helping it and profiting from it. Whites in American died in great numbers in a war that brought slavery in the US to an end. Some freed blacks had become slave masters in the US. Some freed blacks became slave masters in Liberia, the country founded in Africa by freed American black slaves. The horror of slavery is not a crime perpetuated or practiced by one race.
