Africans captured and sold fellow Africans to white people on Europe and The US. In 2013, there are more than 25 million Africans enslaved in West Africa. Shouldn't the reparations crowd be going after the Africans.

they don't have any money. reparations require money. so they can only go after the evil american public, even though no living american was a slave owner or a slave.

And let's not forget that American slavery was an inherited British institution.

Anthony Johnson was an Angolan held as an indentured servant by a merchant in the Colony of Virginia in 1620, but later freed to become a successful tobacco farmer and property owner. Notably, he was the first true slave owner: that is, the first to hold a black African servant as a slave in the mainland American colonies. Upon his death in 1670, a court ruled that [Johnson] was "a negro and by consequence, an alien", and the colony seized his land.

From Indentured Servitude to Racial Slavery

We sometimes imagine that such oppressive laws were put quickly into full force by greedy landowners. But that's not the way slavery was established in colonial America. It happened gradually -- one person at a time, one law at a time, even one colony at a time.
All servants imported and brought into the Country. . . who were not Christians in their native Country. . . shall be accounted and be slaves. All Negro, mulatto and Indian slaves within this dominion. . . shall be held to be real estate. If any slave resists his master. . . correcting such slave, and shall happen to be killed in such correction. . . the master shall be free of all punishment. . . as if such accident never happened.

Yeah, the agenda seems to be to absolve slave owners "because everybody did it". What's routinely ignored, however, is that it was in the Americas that race entered the equation. Previously slavery had been the result of war, debt, criminality or religion. Race-based slavery meant that even nominally "freed men" weren't really free. We're still suffering from the effects of that part of our history and stories like the OP are counter-productive, because they attempt to whitewash history rather than deal with the facts.

Whites stopped trading African slaves. Africans still do it. Who is engaged in ignoring?

You seem to be ignoring my point. Try reading with comprehension.
