Also, let us not forget the centuries long traffic in white slaves taken in raids by African slavers which was documented in the book "White Gold" by Giles Milton. If you argue with black supremacists about this they will try to blame white slavery on "them Arabs" and claim those Northern Africans weren't really true "black African negro's", which is very amusing because when they talk about the "Northern African's" of Egypt or in association with any scientific or cultural progress from the region then N. Africans are full black as night negro's. Go to any forum where these dopes have open comments and argue with them, I've done it and caught them in that contradiction, then the response is always racist gibberish and name calling.

Truth is that Arabs did play a role but with the full participation from "full black Africans" from sub Saharan Africa as well as lighter skinned N. Africans.

Research by Professor of History at Ohio State University Robert Davis suggests that the slave trade of white Europeans was much more extensive that previously believed: https://news.osu.edu/when-europeans-were-slaves--research-suggests-white-slavery-was-much-more-common-than-previously-believed/

Went to Russia to work. Work is a relative term. She was forced to become a prostitute. Even in Russia of all places you find Africans?? Black African prostitutes for some reason popular in Europe?

Studying that whites were used as slaves [such as by the Ottoman] will be a forbidden area of research in the future.

During a fifty year period beginning in 1750 about the same number of persons taken out of Europe as slaves and sent to Africa [the Barbary pirates] as were taken out of Africa and sent to the New World.

Lots of white Slavs enslaved during Ottoman and Islamic incursion into eastern Europe.
