    "African intellectuals tend to blame the West for the slave trade, but I knew that white traders couldn’t have loaded their ships without help from Africans like my great-grandfather," Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes.http://nyer.cm/7R8bl1s

        A brave story! Grew up for a time in Kenya. I know some things to be true but people don't like to believe them. As humans we must all face hard truths in our selves and evolve to end all forms of slavery. Issues are not always as simple as black and white.

        That's the bitter truth. We tend to blame the west for everything and as we speak Chinese are colonising Kenyans on our soil because we owe them 90% of our external debt. Who do we blame now??

        Thank you for the time I spent in your country! I loved every minute and met so many amazing people. I learned important lessons and developed ideas beyond most 10 yr olds. Among them, racism doesn't have a specific color. It comes from fear.

        The whole world has become so much less evil as time passed. Africa has more potential than any other region right now for growth, liberty, and progress. I'm optimistic about the future because our past has been so much worse than today.

        Having read this article, there really isn't one excerpt that can give thy gist of the whole. But the bit from it used as the bait here is very misleading. With that said, the winding road of it is surprisingly underwhelming. But its novelty makes it worth reading.

        these attempts to make black people responsible for slavery are very clever

        Pretending they had no part isn’t clever or accurate. The blame doesn’t rest solely on one person’s or groups feet. It happened for several centuries. Lots of blame to go around.

        No one ever gave me that idea. My own logic reasoned that before anyone mentioned it to. Ain’t no boat gonna roll up on a whole continent and kidnap people without help or major resistance. Our people had organized armies too. They had a boat. Think, it ain’t illegal yet.
