Although whites just love to claim that the slave trade was purely the result of AFricans selling other AFricans - that's not quite true. Of the Africans who did sell other Africans into slavery, it is not as though they held the white slave traders at gunpoint and FORCED them to take the slaves. It was also not the Africans who humiliated, tortured and treated the Black Slaves as though they were subhuman.
But...why on earth did the whites hate blacks so much?? Whites really have some nerve to have this weird contempt for American blacks. They fail to recognize that the reason so many blacks are here, is because whites brought them here. And the reason a disproportionate number of blacks are poor, on welfare, criminally active is a direct response to slavery and the racial injustices that take place right up to this day.
I am not a black American or so-called "African American." I am black but I am not in America as a result of the slave trade. I admire American blacks.
