I wanted to post this, but you are ready did. Tariq goes in deep in this history. And I have addressed this topic a few months ago here: "
This African view of the slave trade", and some people's feeling got hurt (probably biracial guys) which even let to me being penalized for a mouth by some moderator. I will expound on this history in a nutshell, below. I also posted this on LipStickAlley last year and this year and some people started "crying and denying".
"History explains us that the war at Gao, Mali (Timbuktu) was fought over Black women's freedom, which the Moroccan sultan of that time was in disagreement with. And a war was started over this because in Islamic traditions females have a certain position in society, while traditionally the African women had freedoms.
This war weakened the Songhai army (you probably have never heard of this) and the West Sudanese empire (West Africa) as a whole, because the Moroccan army already had guns, while the Songhai army was only just introduced to guns (the gun was new technology during those days).
This facilitated for the Portuguese to enter. The second war was with Portugal, against the already weakened army. And swirlers freely choose and had biracial children with these foreign Portuguese men. This is documented history, not my opinion.
It was these biracial children who started the Trans Atlantic slave trade as the buffer class. The book here below; "Daughters of the Trade" describes some of this history and the lecture is right below. That's the history in a nutshell of how supposedly the "Black man became conquered", like the rest of the world was colonized, I might add.
So what we see is a pattern and it repeats over and over with the hundreds of slave revolts. Unfortunately some Black men and women compromised these revolts by telling massa' the setup and plans, just like nowadays with bootlicking negroes and negresses such as yourself. So yes, these type of people still exist amongst Black people and that is the problem we as Black people have nowadays. This is why when Black men went to non-Black owned stores and demanded them to be removed from Black communities, while Black women defended these non-Black store owners and went right back to these non-Black stores ,where they have been beaten the breaks off of them.

Below is a lecture based on actual anthropological research, with actual data. This may get you upset and angry, but keep in mind that it was not all Black women, just a select group just as there is now. So don't get mad at all Black women for this.
