Fred's example doesn't work because he's referring to countrymen killing each other but Africans were selling people from OTHER tribes. A better example is the systematic destruction of Native American tribes by the United States. Unfortunately, this example isn't a good one to use in this thread because Lucie says that it's a good thing because the US ended up being an awesome country and the Native Americans would have never have been that awesome.
Ah yes the old blame white Europeans for everything that happens to the poor savages despite their own terrible choices.
