Who sold slaves from Africa?
According to John K. Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states. Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.
Blacks must be thankful that they were brought to the West. Now blacks have more rights in the US than others due to "Affirmative Action". Those left behind in Africa are still living in poverty. Those slaves sold to the Muslims were killed.
They were sold by their own people. The Black Muslims especially were slave traders. Those blacks sold to the Muslim world, were killed, as soon as they became old and useless.
Those blacks sold by their own people to the White world were given freedom. President Lincoln emancipated slavery. Now, they have more rights than anybody else.
During the early days, there were slaves all over. In the Middle East, Muslims enslaved the Jews and Christians since Mohammad emerged. Christians were enslaved when the Middle East was taken by the Muslims. The Christian women were raped by Muslims, and the rest of them enslaved and killed.
Most conquering nations enslaved the natives. European countries like Spain during the 15th century took over other countries and enslaved the natives. They treated them slaves.
Race FY2015 Total % Change Average Salary FY 2015 % of the Federal Workforce in FY 2015
Black/African American 337,676 1.48% $72,224 18.37%
Hispanic/Latino 102,839 -11% $75,412 5.59%

Asian 104,323 6.8% 93,223 5.67%
Blacks consist of 14% US population, but there are more black employees of 18.1% of the total federal workforce. There is no discrimination here. The blacks are more privileged. Records from 2015.
Finally, the Jews were the most oppressed people in the world. They were almost annihilated by Hitler during WW2. Until now, Jews are yelled at and oppressed.
They are successful because they work hard and are smart. But not all of them are fair. E.g. Zuckerberg does not care about Jews in Israel.
