This was already posted on GAW before by several commenters. Headline from the Daily Mail UK on Don Lemon being schooled:
"CNN host is stunned into silence when royal commentator says African kings - not British royals - should pay reparations for slavery because 'THEY rounded up their own people and had them waiting in cages on the beaches'"
Thomas Sowell does an excellent job of explaining this in more detail. Most white europeans were literally scared to death to venture any further into Africa than the coast for risk of catching any of the many deadly diseases for which they had no immunity against. Therefore, they were entirely dependent on the native population to sell out their own people to them for profit.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
