Wait other Africans were involved in slavery?

 



Wait other Africans were involved in slavery? I thought it was only WASP that ever enslaved anyone? But CNN infers that Africans should share the blame in slavery. Should Africa contribute to reparations?

Direct Quotes:

For centuries along the West African coast, millions of Africans were sold into slavery and shipped across the Atlantic to the Americas.

That crime is usually blamed entirely on the European outsiders who inflicted slavery on African victims. But new research by some African scholars supports a different view - - that Africans should share the blame for slavery.

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.

For a thousand years before Europeans arrived in Africa, slaves were commonly sold and taken by caravans north across the Sahara.

Sharing the guilt for slavery may be disturbing and painful for Africans, but researchers say their objective is clear.
