Why don’t blacks reckon with Africans that rounded up and sold their people into slavery?

Shame.

Most blacks have so little to be proud of. So they fantasize they are descendant of kings and queens and the great pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

Take that away from them -- tell them their own kings and queens sold them to whitey -- that whitey treated them better than their own kings and queens -- and what do they have left?

Yes. Arabs didn’t give it up even though Western nations did.

Note “the 1960s” here and “20th Century”....
The Arab slave trade was conducted through slave markets in the Middle East, North Africa and the Horn of Africa. Most of the slaves were from Africa’s interior. Historians estimate that between 650 AD and the 1960s, 10 million to 18 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders.
Thus, in terms of numbers, Arabia’s 9.85 million is not far behind the conservative estimate of nearly 12 million African victims of the Atlantic slave trade. Some African historians, though, reject these figures on the grounds that they are too low. They suggest over 50 million Africans were shipped out during the Atlantic trade alone.

According to Lovejoy, another 4.1 million Africans were shipped across the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf and India. “This trade also, with the notable exception of some Portuguese involvement in the area of Mozambique, and of 18th and 19th century French exports to islands under their control in the Indian Ocean, was largely conducted by Muslims,” adds Duncan Clarke.

Through out the 19th century, the Omani Arab rulers of Zanzibar shipped hundreds of thousands of African slaves to work on clove plantations on the island. It was this trade that gave Europe and America so much satisfaction, after abolishing their own trade in African slaves, to highlight the wickedness of the Arab slavers who continued to enslave Africans well into the first decades of the 20th century. Even to this day, Arab slavers are still at work in Sudan and Mauritania, buying and selling black Africans.

Why don’t they look at the alternative, they could have been stuck as Africans in Africa. Host of the third world.

On top of that, they could have been trapped in one of the dozen nations in Africa where Islam openly practices slavery.

Also seeing they’re in church discussing slavery reparations, they could have started with first on deck: Moses and his people.
