It is absolutely AMAZING how lefties cannot acknowledge the thread premise. Even though the usmb rules forbid derailing threads, not one lefty here has even demonstrated having read and understanding the thread premise. Not even the mod who is actively censoring this thread cares about the actual premise of the thread. For all you lefties who are evading the thread topic, here it is:
The thread premise is that Africans were selling their own people. Blacks were selling blacks. The history of black slaves in America originates with the blacks who sold them in the first place.
