Did Africans Sell Africans Into Slavery? Let’s Ask Some Africans, by Jim Goad.
If there is a historical weapon more powerful and decisive than guns, it is certainly guilt….
If one dares to point out that Africans were vastly complicit in the African slave trade, one is accused of trying to “deny” white guilt or to “absolve” whites of guilt, or of trying to argue that “two wrongs make a right.” No, dummies. Two wrongs make two wrongs. But the question is: Why do you focus only on one wrong? …
We don’t hear that … about 90% of Africans transported to the New World had initially been enslaved by other Africans …[or]… about how Barack Obama—who has no ancestral ties to African slaves in America—is descended from the Luo peoples, who routinely captured other Africans in war and sold them into slavery.
