WOW... you seriously need a history lesson. First off, I'm assuming you're referring to the Transatlantic slave trade, which was started around 1452 by the PORTUGUESE AND THE SPANISH.

[ History of slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]

Slavery is as old as war, prostitution, and religion, and there is no group of people that's not guilty of it.

Truth be told, the American slaves were the best treated in history- doesn't make it right, but it speaks to your statement about the treatment of blacks.
