Angry protesters in Cape Town have confronted the king and queen of the Netherlands as they visited a museum that traces part of their country's 150-year involvement in slavery in South Africa.
Though slavery of black people by whites is well pronounced, it was introuced by black people hunting their own, and selling them to Europeans. It still goes on in Africa up to this day by blacks enslaving blacks.
Slavery is not European invention, it’s human’s invention and has no preference in race. It’s based on stronger <> weaker position , e.g. after loosing war, losers became slaves to winners. In Africa stronger tribes attacked weaker ones took their women, killed resistance and sold kids and rest as slaves.
You almost have a well-made point, except that part of it sounds like you are low-key trying to blame black people specifically for the beginning of all slavery.
Beginning of slavery goes further back then US exist, It’s probably old as humankind itself. It was practised by Asians, one of first waves of settler in America (long before European arived there ) . African people had slaves for thousands of years. Hell there were European slaves in Africa back then. There used to be slave route going from Europe through Prague in Chechia, where European people had been castrated and taken into Africa while most of them didn’t survive the way. You heard about origin of word “Slavs” right ?
But US slavery was indeed started by black people selling black people to white man for profit in Africa. White man didn’t want to go futher into Africa because at that time it meant almost sure dead by Malaria and other sickness. Look that up if you don’t believe it. There are both books and documentaries about it.
Isn’t that the whole point of the visit? The museum is about the slavery imposed by Dutch colonists on South Africa at the time.
“Oh look there’s grandpa with his collection of severed hands. I think we still have that chair!”
It’s hard to take this as anything more than looking sad as conspicuously as possible.

I’m not blaming I’m just giving history summary.
