To The Africans, they weren't selling their own. They were selling members of other tribes. In 400 years the estimate of captured slaves was only a bit over 12 million. That's miniscule. Capturing and selling rival tribe members into slavery did not end with the end of the slave trade in Europe and the Americas. It goes on today with young girls auctioned off to Arabs as brides and boys sold as dancing boys.
The African chiefs have nothing to apologize for. Many not sold as a slave ended up as dinner. Where is the black history month study of African culinary art?
This, is beautiful.
