No they weren't. Even my liberal ass knows that. Where do you think half the slaves that got shipped over here originally came from?
They were captured by other Africans in Africa first and sold to the Europeans.
Slavery has had impact on pretty much every society imaginable. Nobody has the market cornered on evil, here.

Not all whites worked in the slave market. Many come from countries that didn't use them.
In that film anyway. It was a Canadian who saved him from the American slave owners from Louisiana & brought back to slave free North Eastern America. Some had heart.

An enlightenment:
European contact with the Asante on the Gulf of Guinea coast region of Africa began in the 15th century. This led to trade in gold, ivory, slaves, and other goods with the Portuguese, which gave rise to kingdoms such as the Ashanti. On May 15, 1817 the Englishman Thomas Bowdich entered Kumasi. He remained there for several months, was impressed and on his return to England wrote a book, Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee which was disbelieved as it contradicted prevailing prejudices. Joseph Dupuis, the first British consul in Kumasi, arrived on March 23, 1820. Both Bowdich and Dupuis secured a treaty with the Asantehene. However, the governor, Hope Smith, did not meet Ashanti expectations.
Slavery in Asanteman
São Jorge da Mina where Asanteman slaves were sold to Portuguese Empire and shipped to Brazil and Cape Verde.
Slavery was prevalent in the Ashanti Empire. Slaves were often used for sacrifices in funeral ceremonies. The Ashanti used their personal beliefs to justify slavery and human sacrifice believing that slaves would follow their masters into the afterlife.
The modern-day Ashanti claim that slaves were seldom abused. and that a person who abused a slave was held in high contempt by society. They further defend the “humanity” of Ashanti slavery by pointing out those slaves were allowed to marry, and the children of slaves were born free from slavery. If found desirable a female slave may have become a wife, the master preferred such a status to that of a free woman in a conventional marriage, because this type of marriage allowed the children to inherit some of the father's property and status.
This favored arrangement occurred primarily because of conflict with the matrilineal system. The Ashanti slave master felt more comfortable with a slave girl or pawn wife who had no abusua (older male grand father, father, uncle or brother) to intercede on her behalf every time the couple argued. With the wife's slave status, the man controlled his children unquestionably with the mother isolated from her own kin.
