| African governments weren't that common around the time, and the Slaves were sold by their own people. |

| There weren't always criminals, most of the time the African Kingdoms would just hire people to abduct randoms and then sell them to Europeans at their trading posts. |

A very small percentage of the Africans sold into slavery were criminals, yes. A very, very small percentage.
Now I'm curious. Are you trolling, or are you genuinely so blinded by your own privilege that you didn't see that this was a really racist thing to post? |

| R@cism is only based on the concept that there is a races. Take away hate crimes and make everyone the same and guess what? No r@cism! |

Making everyone the same is a racist concept. What you're saying is that if different cultures just gave up the things they cherish, then they wouldn't be picked on.
TREATING everyone equally is a good concept, and one we should strive for. Wanting everyone to BE the same is not. |
