Nowadays it's the ppl we consider "non c00ns" saying things like that OP
Tariq nasheed for example.
The tide for these sorta things shifted sometime during the mid 2010s, I honestly can't keep up anymore

The only people who say that are racist cacs & nikkas who dont understand concepts such as nationhood and warfare.
Europeans came to Africa and seen entire nations with their own cultures, ways of life, and spiritual practices... each kingdom had its own history and its own personal interests.... some of these kingdoms were rivals... some were allies.
It wasn't Africans "selling their own"
For example, I'm Haitian and I trace my bloodline back to the Dahomey kingdom via oral history.
The Dahomey had to fight a revolutionary war to gain independence from the Yoruba.
If a Dahomey man sold a Yoruba man to a Portuguese slave trader - he didn't sell "his own people"
He sold his enemy.
If a Dahomey man sold a prisoner to a European slave trader - he didn't "sell his own"
He sold a criminal who was banished from the kingdom.

Efunroye Tinubu - Wikipedia
She sold slaves to Brazilian and European merchants in violation of a 1852 treaty with Great Britain outlawing the slave trade in Lagos.[5] Her economic hegemony over Lagos and secret slave trading resulted in her coming into conflict with the British, as well as other Lagos merchants.
The african people that sold slaves didn't sell their own people, but other tribes whom weren't their own people. As an african i believe african countries that have that history such as those in west africa do owe reparations, and that will even bring pressure on jungus to pay reparations also.
Additionally there was a religious aspect to some of it, where muslims were not allowed to sell another muslim but they could target non-muslims.

Yup.
Its no different than the wars that took place between Haitians and Dominicans in the mid-1800s.
Cacs could say it was Africans "killing their own people"
But it was 2 different cultures with 2 different histories.

Africans(hamites) didn’t sell other Africans. They sold Israelites(“black” people) to the white man (Esau). If you do your research you’ll see the Israelites of the Bible are black people that are scattered all over the earth.

This sounds like a bunch of juelzing.
But anyway, my counter argument is that whites participated. They could've bought slaves and freed us. What'd they do? They treated them us animals.
"B.b..but Africans sold slaves."
Yeah and you participated in the transaction.
