Exactly.I think this argument is wrong. The fact that Africans sent other Africans to the New World to be enslaved is besides the point. If we look at the numbers, it's pretty inconsequential as to who was sent where by whom. Overall, something like 400,000 (fewer if you consider what is today the U.S.) people were sent to North America. That is pretty insignificant compared to the 12 million plus overall sent to the West. What is more important is that those 400,00 were turned into a population of millions of slaves.
