according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. Only about 388,000 were shipped to North America. That’s right: a tiny percentage.
Considering Africans were used like human cattle and bred in the states, of course the numbers physically taken from Africa would be low. Also, the world population is orders of magnitude larger now than it was during the trans-atlantic slave trade.
I'm not really sure what the point of this thread is, but the reasoning here is faulty.
