In order for Mankind to learn from its past mistakes we must expose evil for what it is. While it is also truly a tragedy that slavery existed in this world and in this countries history, you must also recognize and admit that Africans were not the only race of individuals to suffer from the evils of slavery. African tribes preyed on each other and sold the slaves to the european traders. These were captured persons from the wars between the tribes. If we are going to blame anyone lets confront the main perpetrators, Africans themselves. This is still going on today in many areas of the African homeland. Muslims selling captured natives or christians. One tribe attacking another and selling the captives for revenge. Lets not go about placing blame without looking at the whole issue and take it in context. The Holocaust was a systematic effort to commit the genocidal extermination of an entire people. BIG DIFFERENCE.
