Before starting with this silliness, ask: who manufactured guns, chains, whips, and ships? Who established industries, trade routes, banks and lifestyles based on slavery? Who created rationales, laws, and ideologies for its perpetuation? That’s who the driving force was.

Shouldn’t be a pissing contest but instead a reflection of history.

Collaborators could cooperate one day and become captives the next. That’s the history.

That has been obvious to anyone with half a brain forever. And the slave trade went east as well as west, to Zanzibar and into Arabia.

The mortality rate for sailors on a slave ship was high enough as it was. Venturing into the interior in pre-antibiotic days would have been suicidal, even if it was allowed. But it wasn't--African slavers controlled all the slave trade.

Right. White slavers didn't procure slaves in a continent that was long ruled by Africans. African slavers procured the slaves, as they had been doing for centuries before Columbus ever sailed, selling most slaves to Arabs, but some to white slavers, and many to Africans.
