The Muslims had started the slave trade centuries before any Europeans showed up. The Portuguese sailed up to coastal slave exporting centers and decided to buy some for Brazil, and so the trans-Atlantic got started.

Why don’t they seek reparations from the Muslim countries in North Africa, the Middle East, etc.? Oman did not abolish slavery until 1970.

~95% of African slaves went to Brazil and the Caribbean islands.
