I just recently watched a Youtuber do a Video about this. Search up "Tayo Aina" and his video "The Shocking Truth About Nigeria’s Slave Trade History!".
Also, I would like to say that when reading a topic such as slavery, we need to be transparent in our thinking and have a neutral state of mind. Because at one point in history our ancestors might have been slaves but their distant cousins or relatives might have been slave owners.
Yes, the africans that were sold into slavery were sold by other africans, who were enthusiastic participants in the deal.
However, I did some quick reading, and the claim that the slave trade was controlled by Jews does not have any real substance to it. This claim seems to have been made by the Nation of Islam, who are known to be extremely anti-semitic.
Were there Jewish slave owners? Yes, absolutely, but they were few in number. Whatever level of involvement the Jewish community had, it did not amount to control of it.
