It blows my mind that Native Africans are never held responsible for the slave trade.

First of all I don't want Blacks taking on self-hating narratives any more than I want Whites to. This is a typical conservative argument where they think if they just throw enough facts around they can dismantle a carefully constructed narrative of Black grievance. Never going to work and would you want it to? I don't want to pass the poison of neuroticism, self-criticism and self-hatred to other groups. I don't want to teach the world to be liberal and educate Arabs about transgender theory.

We want a positive narrative of White self-assertion that can lead to positive outcomes for our people not a critical narrative of Black history so we can pass on that disease. Making Blacks aware of their role in the slave trade won't stop White self-hatred and it won't do anything to counter the Jews and elite Whites who spoon feed them these narratives from their dominant positions in the means of informational production.

I have to disagree. Black ignorance of the slave trade is what continues to fuel hatred of Whites, because they believe in a false narrative that how they ended up in America was never their fault, and that White success was always because they had black labor to borrow from.

The last sentence is actually very crucial. I would argue that Africans sold Blacks because their civilizations were just that primitive. They had no real economy to speak of, whereas Whites could have ignored Africa and nothing about their own countries in Europe would have changed.

None of this relates to self-hate. It's merely about teaching facts and correcting the record on popular media myths. For example, look at IQ differences between Asians & White. Does accepting higher Asian IQ make Whites look less impressive? No. Now apply this reasoning to everything else.
