African Slaves were sold by other Africans, not "stolen" by whites

[beermonsteroo]

Really, i don't want to appear racist and i certainly don't want to justify slavery in any way. But how come this part of the story is hardly ever told? Just curios?
The story is always told in a way which makes people believe that Europeans were abducting the blacks out of Africa. In reality however, they were buying them from other africans. So therefore, the african race was at least as responsible for slavery then was the european one. From a moral point of view, the behaviour of the africans was even far more disgraceful then what the europeans did. Yet,by Balcks the story is always told in the Bad "white man" and "good poor black man" pattern. A bit unfair isn't it?

Its true, african leaders traded slaves for rum and other items.

Not breaking news though.

Yep you caught us. It was the most elaborate illegal immigration scheme in history. Made it seem like America was gettin a good deal just so we could come in and have sex with all their daughters and beat them at sports they invented. We win.
