Excuse me the slave trade in Africa existed long before the white colonials arrived there, and it was the Arabs and conquering Black tribes that sold off the unwanted black populace.....the English slave traded Irish people long before they started in the black slave trade...they just jumped on the band wagon once they saw how well the Arabs were doing .....

Can Howard Gayle give us an opinion in the fact there's a rape every 6 seconds in SA, and can someone updated him on the history of slavery, it was in full flow long before the" whites" arrived in Africa, being traded by the Zulus and Arabs, the people screaming about compensation should direct their claims where it all began

Every county in the world has engaged in some form of slavery and Africa is no exception, time to look at what the British empire did to stop this trade rather than constantly being told how bad we are.

I hate to b that person but he's got his facts wrong, the blacks in Africa were the worst for selling off slaves, sure Britain had a role just like most country's did but it was Britain that abolished slavery in the 1800's u just need to look to Africa now they're still trading in slaves so what does that tell u?

Don’t worry the Arabs had a slave trade as the Barbary pirates and they took an estimated 1million Europeans over the course of 400 odd years and they somehow ended up working with jack ward a scumbag from an English town called faversham 😂😂 so black people don’t own the slave card they were just the last group of people to have it

Wasn’t Africa trading and using slaves 1000 years before the British empire? I mean, the Pyramids weren’t built by contractors were they?
