We live in a western democracy . We can educate people and youngsters about the past through school and the media .

Do you think modern day Africans in poor countries can be educated in the same way where in many cases the struggle is where the next meal is coming from ?
I see, so what you are saying is that because Africans are poor, they shouldn't be educated on how they played their part in the slave trade.

no one is disputing the europeans created a much larger slave market, but those markets already existed. It wasn't the europeans that created them. If you want to do something about slavery, don't look to the past, look at how many people are estimated to be slaves today and try and do something about that. It is still rife in Mauritania.
