without turning this into a slavery issue

you do realize the africans were sold into slavery by their own, and also were enslaved by their own right?

When a tribe conquered another they enslaved them. When the europeans came along, the more powerful tribes would barter their enslaved folk away.

anyway, it’s ashame the africans, and europeans enslaved certain tribes of africa, but me personally i could give two shits. My family did not arrive in this country till after the civil war

and its people like you being an apologist is what is prolonging our society from moving forward from shit that happend 150 years ago.
