This is pointless. I'm not going to argue with someone who actually believes capitalism is never wrong. It isn't worth it.

Slavery is about keeping them alive to work, not killing them... cannot be called a genocide. Africans being captured and sold by Africans to whomever would buy them, just as many Europeans as Americans. Not a genocide.
Since 1/3 of the blacks that came on slave ships died I'm pretty sure they did a pretty bad job at it. They didn't care if they died or not because they could always get more. When 16 million die that can easily be counted as a genocide. The killing of the culture plays a role in it as well.
