“What? If my ancestors hadn’t sold slaves to the slave-traders and ship masters, Selma would never had happened? That sort of lesson?”

The labor demands of North America would have required that slaves be sourced from somewhere and the necessary transactions of supplying humans would have taken place.

Those who procured slaves not only elected to buy human beings and force them, their children, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, great great great grandchildren and so on perpetuated the act of selling human beings into slavery for hundreds of years.

Yeah, like I said. His ancestors (on both sides). Mine were Friends, they didn’t trade in slaves, as I’m sure you know.
