@@ouscamara1080 what about the fon of Dahomey and the fulanis? There were more than one group of so called Africans selling us because it happened for over 300 years
@@ouscamara1080 Olaudah Equiano from modern day Nigeria wrote a book after he learned to read and write about being sold by blacks. He was considering himself of the ebo or igbo tribe. Also the book Barracoon written by a black woman that descended from slaves in Amerikkka, that interviewed a man from the Yoruba tribe, taken from Dahomey by the fon people, told of his horrific capture and how they chopped the heads of their elders off only taking the children after a sneak attack at night while they slept. May a suggest that you get the book Barracoon and Olaudah Equiano.
@Akin O read the biography of a slave named Olaudah Equiano that was sold by black Africans, who kidnapped him and his sister as children, that was written by him, and the book Barracoon which was also a biography of a slave sold by black Africans from modern day Benin by the Dahomey tribe. You may not be African, if you don't know that blacks only went into the transatlantic slave trade as a result of being sold by other Africans.
