Why did black people sell their people into slavery?

Africans saw igbos as outsiders, not africans so they helped sell us to europeans

[c=#4C0073]Black people didn't sell themselves into slavery. Black people had been trading with the whits for a while. They thought they had the same practices. In Africa it was ok to sell prisoners of war to neighboring tribes. There prisoners of war would be required to work a certain number of years like 2 or 3 to earn their right to join the tribe. Once those years had been completed they could either marry into the tribe or return home to their own tribe. They sold them to the whites with that assumption. Once they realized nobody was returning home they stopped trading with them which is why they started foraging into Africa on slave raids.[/c]
