Much as what the slavers did was abhorrent they in no way attempted genocide. In fact it was completely contrary to their intent, which was clearly to make money from trafficking able bodies people who could be made to work.
Genocide would have robbed them of their purpose.
If he simply said it wasn't genocide, then fine I guess. But the full comment was it's not genocide because look, Africa is full of them.
