Shogun, why don't you school us on black history? I'd love to hear your take on it.
Well, I mean, I guess we can start here if you are too goddamn stupid to have taken my point to mr president...
There is adequate evidence citing case after case of African control of segments of the trade. Several African nations such as the Ashanti of Ghana and the Yoruba of Nigeria had economies largely depending on the trade. African peoples such as the Imbangala of Angola and the Nyamwezi of Tanzania would serve as intermediaries or roving bands warring with other African nations to capture Africans for Europeans. Extenuating circumstances demanding exploration are the tremendous efforts European officials in Africa used to install rulers agreeable to their interests. They would actively favor one African group against another to deliberately ignite chaos and continue their slaving activities.

do you need any more clarification?
Do your own reading please.
so, what part of "to capture africans for Europeans" invalidates "African control of segments of the trade. Several African nations such as the Ashanti of Ghana and the Yoruba of Nigeria had economies largely depending on the trade. African peoples such as the Imbangala of Angola and the Nyamwezi of Tanzania would serve as intermediaries or roving bands warring with other African nations"?
for real, dude... I realize that just blaming white people is posh in this day and age but perhaps if you slow down and read the entire paragraph...
