Most blame for slavery -- the black people in Africa who originally enslaved them, or the white people that eventually owned them ?

Every black slave that was ever shipped to the Americas ,was originally enslaved by another black tribe ,in Africa. Their slavery resulted from inter tribal warfare , and such slavery was common.

Eventually , these tribes realised that their slaves  were worth more ,if sold to Arab and white slavers. So eventually, many  ended up being owned by white people in the Americas .Who ,today , should we most blame for this trade -- the black tribes that originally enslaved them, or the white people that eventually owned them .

Update:

David : I agree entirely -- but perhaps your question would be best directed towards the black and liberal communities , who continue to hold only white people responsible for this history .
