Such is the nature of capitalism, and it sucks to be sure. But if you wish to assign blame, then you need to trace it back to its source: black tribal chiefs, who saw a new way to take the slaves that they already had and turn them into a source of revenue. And once that turned out to be a lucrative business for them, they responded much as one would expect and started capturing more and more and more.
The whites were simply doing business, in a world where human slavery was still legal.

Thats always the excuse isnt it? Oh, times were different, slavery was acceptable back then. Well, people make choices. Some people were Francis Drake, and some people were Toussaint Louverture.
