Whenever I see the name ,'Lenny Henry', on any board I always make the same comment," the most unfunny thing since Auschwitz ".
Most folk realise that it was blacks selling blacks to Trading firms who chartered ships to transport the slaves to the new world. Slavery was given the tacit approval of the Catholic Church who taught that blacks were designated by the Bible to be servants of white and yellow skinned folk, back in those days the people used to believe what they were told so just got on with the job they were tasked to do.
What is rarely mentioned is that the Moors used to visit Northern Europe in their Galleys and strip entire coastal towns and villages of their inhabitants, England and Ireland lost around a Million and a Half souls this way, those that survived the journey back to North Africa ended up being sold as slaves but you will NEVER find the buffoons on TV mentioning this.
