Regardless of whether Africans were sold into slavery by their African counterparts and enemeies does not and will never excuse the practice of over 200 years of slavery. Many Africans were kidnapped by White Americans and not sold. Not to excuse the evil behavior of African Tribes that did participate but lets be real whether they were sold or not enslavement of the future generations was an act totally protrayed by the WHITE MAN. To dismiss the wrong doings of white americans who did participate in the slave trade and in fact came back to American and created LAWS to keep those slaves as property and not human beings is ridiculous.

It goes without saying that slavery, in any country, was and is wrong. However, blaming the "white man" as if they created the practice, is untrue and diverts attention from the true history regarding the practice of slavery; which continues legally in Africa, India, China and illegally in most if not all countries.

I can only imagine the decades of dissent they endured, the damage it did to future generations. As we see today, many are still suffering with racism thrown around by small brains and unloving, unintelligent backward ideology. They still suffer a 'white man's' curse' and will unless the white man and family stop avoiding their mindset still. They also are suffering their ancestors ideology which is terribly unhealthy in the World today.
