[quote="Sgt>Stackem":ffb91]just a quick questio for Short, who sold the slaves to the US? I think it may be other Africans so why would they shoulder the blame? i know its easier to blame the US cause everything is thier fault,[/quote:ffb91]

The minority of slave trades were made by Africans themselves, and besides, there wouldn't be a market for them if there weren't western, white, consumers buying them. I hate it when people use that as a fallback argument, usually trying to deny any "blame" for the situation.

I have to agree you guys jumped the gun on crucifying Short on this one - He did only mention western nations and never singled out the U.S, so shut the fuck up about that.

BTW, Short, its THROUGH....Not 'threw.' spank:
