These talking points accomplish nothing for the people who make them. Whether the society a person was kidnapped from practiced slavery doesn't matter, it's a red herring and special pleading for white America.

But in fact some people were kidnapped from tribes that didn't even practice it themselves. Case in point, most Igbo tribes did not practice slavery. If you don't know about Igbo Landing, brace yourself:
