        In truth it was the Arabs that engineered the African slave market thousands of years before the Europeans got involved. Christian Europeans sought to end this cruel treatment of their brothers. In the 1960's they convinced the Arabs to make slavery illegal. Yet it still goes on.

        But... if there's no market, there's no business. And, American slavery was brutal, regardless of what happened in Africa.

        And don't blame the entire white race for what a tiny amount did. Most of us are underprivileged also. Snobby white writers don't know JACK and if they do it is because of their own guilt.

        He failed to recognize that the Queen of Nigeria stopped sending to King of England (who also purchased whites from Germany and other kingdoms) allowed commoners to take them over.

        Probablemente también sea culpa de los esclavos, quienes gustan de obedecer y no tienen mentalidad de emprendedores...

        Africans didn't have the "cruise ship" fares, so they started the slave trade, so as not to embarass them?
