Ya and what is so terrible about that, is that the Africans caught and sold their own people. That is a sure sign of non-loyalty. Go back and read the History on that subject. Don't forget that many White Americans and Europeans freed the slaves too. Whites helped to free the slaves.

Actually no one wants to mention this but...well I guess the two people before me mentioned it lol
The slave trade in Africa was basically started, and maintained by those who would be considered "black" not whites.
Maybe whites bought people who already where slaves, thats true sure. But the ones who put those people into bondage where Africans. During African tribal warfare it was custom to take defeated tribes and make them slaves. Some of these tribes didnt want to keep the slaves since they had enough already so they sold them off.
African tribes that were particularly adept at warfare only learned how to fight so that they could take more slaves to make money, case in point the Zulu's.
It is ironic that those of African desent, particularly African-Americans blame white people for their history of slavery, when it was their own countrymen that put their ancestors into bondage and sold them off for profit.
Some make the arguement that there would have been no slave trade if the whites didnt create a market for it. Being a student of history, and military history in particular I disagree with people that make that assumption. I think that had the whites not bought those people that were taken into bondage then they simply would have been killed by the rival tribe that had defeated them. Instead it became more profitable to take prisoners and sell them. What African tribes did before there was a slave trade was just murder the entire population of the tribe that was defeated.
I can see that this mentality within Africa has not changed. Look at Rwanda and the tribal warfare between the Hutu, and the Tutsi. There is no slave market in Rwanda right? Look at what they attempted do to, wipe out the entire population of the enemy. This is basically what they used to do in the past, only the introduction of a slave market caused them to actually take prisoners and sell them.
It would seem that the slave market caused lives to be saved, and backward as that might seem.

Dude, let the past be past. We don't have slaves now and those people that dwell on the past and get bitter, well, what does that accomplish? Nothing. It's not that way now but unfortunately many black people blame the white people for all their problems when it's them dwelling on something that although is part of their history, doesn't or shouldn't affect them today.
