A little “truth” is good for the soul. Africans sold Africans to whites, whites did not “hunt” down blacks and enslave then, slavery has always been with us. Whites did not “invent” it. White people stopped slavery first The Catholic Church made it illegal, around 1499, then the British did and used their Navy and army to destroy the trade. The Civil War was fought mostly by whites to end slavery after the emancipation proclamation, Blacks did not fight for their freedom till the end of the war, White gave you the 12 th. amendment, voters rights and civil rights, without white people, you would more than likely still be picking cotton.
