Well, at least we now know you're just trolling. Because, no one is that fucking stupid.

The demand for slaves from slavers drove the whole thing into an industrial scale operation

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.

I'm not making any excuses, Taxi. I am simply stating the facts about the actual history involved. I'm sure you would agree that not liking a fact doesn't make it any less of a fact. Blacks in Africa started the slave trade there... not white people. And they profited handsomely from it, which is why they jacked up the entire operation during the mid-1700's. And it is also true that on ALL sides of that situation back then, most people felt that human slavery was indeed acceptable.

It must seem abhorrent to you and me, living here in the 21st century. But how do you know what your feelings would be, if we were living way back in the year 1749..? Hell... you might even own a few slaves of your own.

You must not realize the amount of kids the average black guy has (i personally know four with at least 3 kids or more with not less than 2 baby mamas), with either a white or a black chick. However, the illegal immigrants outdo the people of African descent by rolling up in a small little car and unloading it with 10-15 kids looking like a broke down clown car at the circus.

My ancestors were actually slavers. Theres an island in Africa that bears my name. But thats beyond the point, the fact is that even during those times, there was people that did find slavery abhorrent, it was the slave themselves, and people like Bartelomeo de Las Casas.

The most ridiculous part of your statement is that "Most people felt that human slavery was indeed acceptable". That was the people on top, the slavers. For example If a majority of Haitians thought that slavery was indeed acceptable in the 1790s then they wouldnt have led the first successful slave revolt culminating in the independence of a country.

The native americans who drowned themselves at sea when given the choice of being slaves or dying didnt "indeed think that slavery was acceptable".
