Was it worse to buy a slave or to sell someone into slavery in the first place?
It was the Africans themselves who were enslaving their fellow Africans, sending them to the coast to be shipped outside," says researcher Akosua Perbi of the University of Ghana. (88K AIFF sound fileor 88K WAV sound)
Based on her studies, Perbi says that European slave traders, almost without exception, did not themselves capture slaves. They bought them from other Africans, usually kings or chiefs or wealthy merchants.
The question is, why did Africans sell their own people?

Yes, we are all perfectly aware that you detest blacks you fucking pathetic Nazi imbecile. It certainly explains why you are trying to pretend Africans began enslaving themselves before the west created the high demand for slave labour. Your game of opposites is so fucking boring. In this instance you are trying to put effect before cause (i.e. the cart before the horse). Side: Sell a slave
Hi Nom, Did you notice that even your milkman and postman are really Hitler clones? Do you find it disconcerting that your neighbours are all Nazis and the gestapo secret police are checking you mail and monitoring your phone calls? Yes sirree bob, life in the latter day Third Reich must be hell. Have you detected a striking likeness your regular whore has to Eva Braun? Has she got swastikas on her knickers? Hey Nom;- CUCKOO-CUCKOO. Side: Buy a slave
