The Slave "Trade"

In discusswing this matter, "trade" is the keyword. In short, it means buying and selling. So, in the slave trade, we had a product that was provided, in its early history, primarilby the Nations of North and South Africa. Further, History shows, that the Slave Coast is on the shores of Africa--commenly refered to as the Slave Coast Today, the Blacks living here in American prefer to be called African Americans, and rightly so. This is now a well known fact. The nations of Africa, by the selling of their own people in the World Slave Trade, introduce black slavery to the world. It was not the white man but the black man that provided the product, by selling off their Own Bloods, their own people, and perhaps, even member of their own family and for what--trinkets or as little as two dollars a body. Now I have to ask myself why is the white man the only ones, in todays world, being held accountable for the dastardly deeds of black slavery? We know it takes two to tango, why is slavery treated only as a white mans sin? What's that old saying: "As you sow, so shall you reap." Should a race that sells its own, have some accountability? If you look further into the slave trade, Slavery existed long beofre the white people even came on the scene. In fact, slavery exsisted in the Nations of Africa going back to 3,500 B.C.. It was in the 16th Century that Protugal introduced blacks into the white markets. In fact it was in 1609 that two blacks, jumped off a Proguese Slave Ship and landed on the shores of America. Therefore, the first blacks to come to america were not brought here as slaves but swam to freedom to get her. Sounds Familiar! "A man who hates American hates humanity." Paul Johnson The Messenger
