Because the Europeans came back and completely colonized Africa, before Africa was never colonized. Africans were business partners with Europeans. Africans even got a chance to got to Europe and were treated as royalty. African women were married off to Europeans. Europeans never thought of Africans as inferior until the TransAtlantic Trade became one of the most profitable ventures for Europeans in history...especially the USA.
Plus removing millions of people from your own land creates a brain drain...and on top of that...removing millions of people isn't smart from a nation point of view...but like I said, Africans did not believe in nations or races, only tribes and kingdoms...so it didn't really matter as long as their tribe is okay.
Nation and Race is a Western European concept.
And Ghana apologized for the slave trade, it is widely accepted and have been proven that Africans sold Africans, there actual receipts for slaves...you just gonna have to read Where the Negros Are Masters to understand how a slave port works and how Africans kept the slave trade going through deals with Europeans.

Sparks demystifies the dynamics of the slave trade to show colossal, interconnected, and unseen dimensions of the Atlantic world system. He observes how the Fantes’ initial exchange of African gold for European cloth and other commodities at Annamaboe shifted to a trade in slaves as plantation slavery in the Americas grew dramatically. Sparks points out how different power players on the coast — such as Fante rulers, chiefs, and caboceers — jealously guarded the profitable trade, while their Portuguese, British, Dutch, and French trading partners competed amongst themselves to monopolize it. Pawning, an indigenous African trade practice in which family members became collateral, lent itself to African-European socio-economic relationships, which proved critical to the expanding slave trade. These transactions, hinging on familial consent, personal connections, African-European cultural exchange, and a delicate balance of trust, worked together to facilitate the development of the slave trade at Annamaboe. It was this dynamic that ultimately distinguished the business of slave trading from piracy and kidnapping.
Ghana apologizes for slave trade
Ghana apologizes to slaves' descendants
"Project Joseph" is an invitation to blacks who trace their history to the slave trade to reconnect with the land of their ancestors. It's an invitation that comes with an apology — not from the Western countries usually associated with slave masters, but from Ghanaians themselves.
Says Emmanuel Hagan, director of research and statistics at Ghana's Ministry of Tourism and Diasporean Relations: "The reason we wanted to do some formal thing is that we want — even if it's just for the surface of it, for the cosmetic of it — to be seen to be saying, `Sorry to those who feel very strongly, and who we believe have distorted history, because they get the impression that it was people here who just took them and sold them.'
because we should all believe the tales rappers tell us
