Go to the cape coast and Elimina castle. I am Ghanaian but most of us sub sahara africans and our descendants don't know that our condition was biblical. Read Deuteronomy 28 and pay attention to verse 15-68. This is one example. We are the people of the book not yte people in Israel pretending to be us as God warned. Rev 2:9 and 3:9

The mass enslavery of black people in America, South America, the Carribeans and other parts of those areas would have been completely impossible without the actieve and decisive role of our own black people in the places where those people were captured and sold into slavery. It was normal in those days to engage in wars, capture other people en enslave them. With the coming of the Europeans came the opportunity to trade the captured for other things and hence the start en expanding of the slave trade. Up till today there are slaves and slavery practices in some countries in Africa like Mauritania. One can also see traces of slavery in the way some well placed people treat their house maids and boys. That said I think one must make a difference between the treatment the enslaved people experienced at the hands of white people in America, South America and the Carribeans and slavery in an African society as in those days. The barbaric treatment of the slaves by the white owners was mainly due to the social economic value they saw in slaves. They considered them to be less human, their property and as such as a means of production which they could treat and use anyway they wanten and justified that with their religious believes based on the bible! It's a pity seeing many black people believing in the bible and seeing Jesus Christ as their saviour.
