Modern slavery

[Nemo2]

Visited Gorée Island off Dakar, Senegal, circa 1986.......known locally as 'The Slave Island'...young African guy said they get a lot of Black American visitors who inevitably ask how they could have sold their own people into slavery.

Standard answer: "They weren't our people, they came from Mali or somesuch".

Those Eastern European nationalities called Slavs, came from the word slaves.
