So what? What difference does that make? One tribe selling another tribe into slavery. Just because they both happen to live in proximity to each other, that's meaningful? How is that different from german protestants putting german jews into concentration camps?
So - what are you saying? It's alright to sell members of another tribe into slavery? Alright then - IF that is the position that you choose to take, then there would be no shame in white people enslaving black people. They are OBVIOUSLY not from the same tribe.

You are so racist that you couldn't conceive that I was making another point, could you?
I am saying what I said explicitly, that it doesn't make a difference that one tribe did it to another. The SAME THING happened in germany, ergo your entire 'difference' is no difference at all. Except to racists like yourself who think grouping all africans together as a single group somehow makes what german protestants did to german jews worse.
