and you can't blame only the white man.

African leaders gathered up different tribes and sold them.

America only received 5% of the slaves sold in the slave trade

Yeah we can blame the white man. You are just as guilty as the tribes who gathered them because you purchased them,another human being. Just like if someone enslaved your mother,daughter,aunt or sister and soled them to someone are you telling me the the person who bought them would not be as guilty ?

As a black man I find this shit repulsive at thought of having my GOD giving right to be free dictated by another human being.
