why do white people use the argument “some black people were sold into slavery by other black people so black people are either as guilty as we are or more so”. white people bought people, enslaved people, raped people, forced assimilation on people, relocated people, tortured people, and continue to oppress people. there is no way to back out of the it and somehow not being guilty of committing such crimes. not to mention the quantity of black people being sold by other black people is a small fraction compared to the total amount of black people who were taken, also the black people selling other black people didn’t force white people to buy black people. white people bought black people. white people also stole black people. this excuse is tire and invalid.
