I don't agree with your earlier analogy, but trying to frame the Middle Passage as some sort of uniquely Euro phenomenon is interesting at best.
The argument seems to assume that anyone, regardless of race, would have taken slaves from Africa. I guess that takes the burden off of all races.
Of course it leaves the possibility that only Africans and English would, but other civilizations would not. I guess the Arabs and Spanish are innocent in this interpretation.
How could there be a large slave trade in Africa without a demand. The transatlantic slave trade depopulated large swathes of Africa, involved numerous civil wars to aquire slaves and general chaos. Did this exist b4 Europeans arrived, I have doubts...
Stop playing to emotions and try to get your facts right please. Europe wasn't the first place where slavery was common
Millions of slaves in Africa and sold out of Africa before the English ever thought about going there.
African tribal leaders warred with other tribes, captured them and sold them into slavery. This was not one year deal, this was a trade of "commodities" for hundred of years BBC said the est was 12 billion between 1450-1850.
Slavery is still a thing there guys and its not white people who own them
