The idea that the African slave trade is particularly relevant to a discussion of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the Americas. Even if you're not using it to imply that the Africans were complicit in and therefore 'deserved' slavery in the Americas, it's still as irrelevant as talking about ancient Greek slavery. And no, the fact that many people might not be aware that slavery was widespread in ancient Greece doesn't make it relevant either.

The post is partially about people being ignorant to the fact that not all violence in Africa was caused by Europeans so it seems relevant to mention that non-white people enslaved each other, which is something that a lot of people don't know or ignore because it doesn't fit into their Euro and American centric notions about slavery

The premise of this thread was not that the existence of other forms of slavery somehow diminished the gravity of the Atlantic slave trade. It was that it's sad and ridiculous that people aren't taught that other forms even existed. And to me it's really sad and frustrating because not all of those traditions have actually ended, and people aren't taught that slavery is still going on in the modern world.
