Why Did White People By Slaves In The First Place

From the first slaves to now how many blacks were killed by whites?

No one really knows the numbers but it close to this10 million slaves died from their journey to the new world, millions died in captivity, in just Africa alone.Millions of women and babies died in childbirth during slavery, in the western hemisphere.Hundreds of thousands killed or lynch during slavery, in the western hemisphere.40–50 thousands died fighting for the union and many more revenge killings in the south, durning and after the war.Lynching 40–60 thousand, or more, no one knows the real numbers, since free slaves didn't had rights, or listed on census.WW1 and WW2, due to segregation about 1000 or so diedSkip Korea and Vietnam war since they were not white.I would say 10–15 million from 1776 too 2016.

White people were the first race to abolish slavery, so why are we blamed for slavery?

As an excuse for black failure.

Why do black people still care about slavery when they weren't the first slaves ever?

Technially white and black people were the first slaves. Even the Jews were slaves before black people. Black people who still complain about slavery are just idiots desperate for attention who want white people to feel sorry for them. The word slave isn't another word for black. A slave is a person who is forced to do something they don't want to, not a BLACK person who is forced to do something they don't want to. Why can't people understand that?

How exactly did white people catch slaves when they went to africa?

They didn't.

They weren't interested in playing Indiana Jones in the jungle, getting malaria and snakebites and fighting the natives.

They just wanted to sail into port, buy the slaves, and sail off again.

There were several different Slave trades operating in Africa:

The internal slave trade: this was the African practice of using criminals, prisoners of war, weaker conquered tribes, etc, as slaves. This was huge - in some African nations up to 50% of the population were slaves.

The Trans-Saharan Slave Trade: this was run by Arabic slavers, who mounted armed expeditions to attack villages, rounding the inhabitants up at gunpoint and killing any who resisted.
They used Baluchi mercenaries - originally from Iran - as hired muscle.
They took their prisoners across the Sahara to the Barbary coast nations of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, and into the Ottoman Empire.

The Indian Ocean Slave trade: The muslim nations of East Africa, as well as keeping slaves themselves, sold on their criminals and prisoners-of-war through the Omani Arab slave-markets of Zanzibar.
From there, they would be sold across the middle-east.

When Europeans started to get involved, for the first time, Africans were able to make a real profit from their slaves.
Any chief who was willing to co-operate would get rich on trade goods (usually cheap trinkets and low-grade cloth which cost the Europeans very little) and could become powerful with European muskets.

This meant that - as well as selling their prisoners to the Europeans - it was worth going out and capturing more.

The tribes which were more aggressive in the slave trade soon became wealthier and more powerful than their neighbours... and as soon as that happened, those neighbours got conquered and sold.

Basically - as long as the Europeans paid them and gave them firearms, the Africans were only too keen to do the actual capturing.

An African could be captured by Africans... transported across the country in a 'coffle' (slave convoy) run by Africans, sold by an African trader operating on behalf of an African chief, and held in a 'barracoon' (slave prison) run entirely by Africans, until a ship arrived,

The men on that ship would be the first white faces involved in the process. Up to that point, it was often an all-African operation.

Hope that helps!
