Slavery is about who is the lowest on the pecking order. At that time is was African peoples. African peoples who themselves were the lowest hanging fruit on their continent. And delivered up by their African neighbors. For profit
Throughout history, slavery was just something you did to conquered peoples. It sucked, but it wasn't discriminatory as a rule. Honestly, the further back you go, the more it was kind of a win/win: the conquerer profits off the conquered, and the conquered doesn't get wiped off the face of the earth.
