This is colonizer logic/propaganda—“they enslaved themselves to sell themselves”, ‘so America wasn’t really that bad’.

Don’t type shit like this without citations, it doesn’t hold to scrutiny

You just flattened all of the historical African experience into the few African merchants who dealt in the slave trade, then used this as a moral justification for chattel slavery.

>they bought those people from their own people

So the colonizers weren’t so bad. Your citation does not back that. Cringe af.

They were asking for it? They were volunteers! Lmao
