“After all, it was white colonists who forcibly removed Africans from their homeland and brought them to America to serve as slaves on plantations.”

As others have pointed out, that’s not the way it went. Africans were willing to sell other Africans to slave traders. Still are.

Africa is crisscrossed with slave trails because the blacks and Arabs found the blacks in Africa an easy target for slavers. Dr. Livingstone used these trails almost exclusively while exploring Africa. He even tagged along with the slavers on his explorations and mapping of Africa.
