Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today's standards or values.

Except or unless of course you are white.

That’s different. Nigeria isn’t the country they are trying to punish.

>>More than 1.5 million Africans were shipped to what was then called the New World - the Americas

How Many Slaves Landed in the U.S.?

Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.

And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That’s right: a tiny percentage.

Blacks like to think that THEY were the only slaves EVER in the entire history of the world.
