In the west it was discovered these poor individuals were being sold into slavery to the Arabs or middle east, or something like that, and greedy merchants wanted to get into the action. I've never heard of the myth you're talking about.

Europeans aren't evil its just that once in a while humans do rude things. they felt Africans were inferior savages and seeing a race for the first time i would expect nice judgments Africans themselves had nasty views on whites. at first they felt they were albino.

A link from you will do fine. I'm just saying I hadn't heard of it. Always willing to be enlightened by those who know better than I.

Yes I understood that what I am asking is if the african tribes did not sell the slaves to the europeans just where did the slaves come from?
