There is no mention of the black slave traders who sold to the
white buyers.

Not to mention that many (most?) of the slave buyers were Arabs, who transported the captives to the coast for sale to mostly white ship captains.

There is plenty of blame to go around. The reality is that most slavery is not rooted in racism, but in economics.

Let's not forget that whites were slaves in Rome and Greece. How far back can reparations go?
