I have no problem with the diaspora and think bridges should be built with those who want to connect with Africa.
I do have a problem with painting Africa with the broad brush of selling their own people.
Most Africans had nothing to do with that. The royal and trading families involved in the slave trade are known. They owe the diaspora, not the average African just trying to scratch out a meaningful existence.
I look at the slave trade the same way I look at the crack trade. You look at TV or the news and you'll think that Black people controlled the Crack trade, Spanish and white people imported that shyt and Black people only controlled the trade in the hood and only on the retail side.
White people facilitated the slave trade, It would've been better had no Africans participated at all but basically it was like snitching people got down first.
If it was really a case a white people simply docking on the coast and Africans literally bringing them slaves then ADOS people would be able to trace their ancestry through conquered tribes. The slave selling tribes would be rich. What happened was c00ns from all the tribes stole people when and where they could. That's why we are all mixed up, because no African tribe or Kingdom exclusively traded slaves to the whites. The Black guides who helped the whites were the literal "thugs" of each and every tribe.
In the Book Barrac00n and the story of the last slave in america one of the people who captured them ended up enslaved right along with them.
