Not surprising that a cartoon would lead to physical attacks and death threats coming from the mentality of people who think it's okay to stone someone to death for getting raped.
So you're suggesting that white people from europe went into the bush of africa and captured africans themselves?
seems to me the very anti slavery movie, Amistad, portrays the african contribution to the slave trade as well.
however if it makes your liberal guilt any less, if you want to make the africans themselves blameless completely, be my guest.
Look, I'm not saying there wasn't a Holocaust, but maybe the Jews did it to themselves to some degree.
You're trying to (for whatever reason) act like the buyer had absolutely no responsibility in a major atrocity, which is hilariously intellectually dishonest. I can't say I'm surprised by that though, since you're basically saying "the black guy said they did it to themselves" as some kind of bizarre way of proving your point.
If a girl is sold into prostitution by her parents, it doesn't take the pimp off the hook.

I'm not saying that the european slave traders had no responsibility. You're the one denying that the africans have any responsibility for enslaving their rivals and selling them to europeans.

Might want to actually mention the background of the buyers the next time you attempt to make this point.
