It was obviously the White Man's fault, no question about it. The White Man forced them to do it, no question about it. Only the White Man should apologize for slavery, no question about it. There's really no question it was the White Man's fault. No question about it.

It's happened all through history, one group is paid to capture or kill another group, by a third group who seeks to conquer or control the first group. It happened rampantly with the American Indians, tribe eagerly likedthe idea of being on the side of the Whites to attack old enemies, go to the Custer battle Filed Memorial, and see what the local tribes have done to memorialize there loyalty to US troops against he other tribes, the same in Africa, Just because they where Black, does not mean they where the same tribe, just a whites in Europe are English,French, german etc, so it is in Africa and Years ago in the Americas. It;s happened in ancient rome, in Egypt, in Asia, anywhere. It's one of the oldest tactics in the world, works pretty good I guess. Just because some politician "apologizes" for something, doesn't mean he represents the other today, and definitely does not have any claim of representing people in the past. Nancy Pelosi is just another bleeding heart socialist who is to wealthy to even really know what anyones suffering is about, past or present.

It's a little less complicated..The world has always been 95% people of color. I have never found any credible information reference the selling of Africans BY Africans to the Europeans. For that matter The Europeans also bought Indians and worked them to death (e.g. Incas, Mayas), hence the need for Africans. Africans were stronger and more resilient and prolific. The reason why I say I have seen no "credible" information is because history has been revised so much and so often that one questions everything anymore.
I do know through common sense that Europeans tried to force their religion on the indians....Christianity. Hah. which heralded slavery, as though it was the right thing to do...

The taking of captives from neighboring tribal units was very common until quite recently. They were spoils of war. Capturing members of a rival group and selling them to slavers who would take them far from Africa ensured that they'd never manage to mount a military challenge to their conquerors again.
Africa was not one unified nation any more than Europe was. Nation-states in Africa made war on each other just like European nation-states did. African nation-states are still doing it...Tutsi vs. Hutu and on and on and on.
So NO - you CANNOT lay sole blame for slavery in the Americas at the feet of white men. That does not lessen the fact that holding other human beings in chattel slavery is evil. But there's plenty of blame to go around.

Eradication of their enemies. The leaders of the most powerful tribes captured their enemies and sold them to the slave traders and took their women and their land.
The AL governor should have apologized for the treatment of slaves but not for the act. The act of slavery has been cursing the face of the world since one man found himself stronger than another.

Islam, pure and simple, this is not religious bigotry, do a web search of the "Barbary pirates" learn the history the liberals and CNN does not want you to know. Did you know in Dufar, it is the Muslims killing, raping and selling into slavery the Christian minorities? but do you see Jesses Jackson or Sharpton giving a flip, I think not.

ok heavily get a existence...........are you attempting to justify the undeniable fact that black pple wr and nonetheless are being dealt with badly via blaming it on the black guy. at the start shall we get some thing in the present day. the clarification mutually as africans had slaves became for various motives. a million. they fought a conflict between tribes and the losers worked decrease than the the effective ones. 2. there became some form of debt somebody in some kinfolk became owing, and to pay for it, they had to furnish up a member of their kinfolk or some thing. 3. additionally people who have been wayward, and committed crimes wr made slaves, kinda like conserving them remoted to artwork, howdy, they did no longer have prisons lower back then. while white human beings got here to africa, they are people who had alterior reasons. they knew what they had to do with the africans. ok high-quality, blame them for the slave commerce, who got here up with the jim crow regulations? who dealt with the black guy like an animal? made him experience inferior? look at southafrica, are you able to blame the black human beings for that one. its the twelve months 2007. no one in this technology ought to be blamed for slavery, be it africans or be it white. the those that should be blamed for something good now are individuals that are racists. they are the genuine evil. i wish i did no longer offend all of us. i became jst uninterested in listening to crap like this. p.s my grandfather became white and that i've got not got something against any race of people.

I don't think any one should be apologizing to someone that slavery never happened to, for stupidity they were never involved in! I have Native American ancestors, (plus Swedish and French) but I wouldn't want ANY European people apologizing to ME for what happened at Wounded Knee!! That kind of politically correct *BS* makes me want to barf!!!!!!!!!! The people here and now played no part in what their ancestors did to my great, great, ...? when they first came the US!! Of course, that's just me!!

They did it because they are a race that cares for nothing not even their own people. Sorry the only thing they care for is wealth which is why their leaders sold them into slavery.

The Democrat Party & unions in 1863 in NYC encouraged the Irish to attack blacks. Some were hung and set on fire: fact.
