Well, it is somehow true that blacks act cowardly. Behind all those wild fits of black bravado and melanin strength, blacks are likely to jump ship at any impending danger. Probably could be attributed to our psychological set up. Most blacks do not trust anybody not even their own folks and that sense of mistrust gives way to false security which ultimately  culminates into paranoia. So we draw a lot of "what if" scenarios before we make a conclusion of things. And most, we abandon them all just to be on a safer side. That's fear
We don't talk to the police because what if he comes back from jail and he wants me dead
We don't talk about our feelings because what if she finds out my sickness and uses it against me
You catch my drift?

I read in a obscure history book that they had to kill american Indians because they were too brave to enslave.  So they enslave the cowardly blacks instead.  Is this accurate?

Well there is logic in it but saying that the "blacks" are cowardly is a bit off putting. I think what happened was that the "blacks" are pulled out from Africa as slaves right off the bat. Away from their families they become broken and would resort to just follow their slavers. Same goes for the chinese that went here, but for them they are promised gold but are disappointed and would just work so they could go back home. The "braves" have their lands and families, looking at invaders they would rather die than to be slaves in their own lands

Blacks were enslaved by blacks and sold off by them to other countries.

I don't agree calling them cowards. Everyone has character traits. Even if its good or bad,traits are often developed based on culture,customs,beliefs,traditions etc. The way a person acts depends on how they were raised so everyone is different. The directness of black people are a good trait but sometimes we misunderstood what they were trying. I only know few blacks  and what I observed is that the way they talk can be informal but it doesn't mean that they are a bad person.

Black are not cowards is just a discrimination for them from the past decade. They are slave from the white people, but after Abraham Lincoln decided that all human being are fair no matter what color your skin is. So the treats of black people now are equal as the human being.

What a silly question based on nothing. It's a very low IQ question.

If it makes you feel better OP  then yes, every black person is cowardly for the exact same reasons you described.

Even without foreign buyers, slavery existed in Africa due to the frequent tribal warfare. So I think it's a combination of the blacks that were sent to America were already pretty familiar of slavery and knew what could happen if they fought back as well as the unfamiliarity with the new territory they were brought in.

That's one way of looking in to it, but I would not say that the European and the Arab influence didn't had any negative consequences. Both the groups encouraged tribal warfare, so that they could get an increased supply of the slaves. They played the same trick in the Americas as well.

Yes, I like to think that it simply aggravated an existing condition. Slaves were definitely much more valuable outside the regions of Africa they were taken from, seeing that their destinations were either large urban centers (ie, Ottoman cities) or huge plantations, which seem to be absent in Africa at the time.

It's cowardly to come with a gang and take what you want ..

So many different black white Arabs brown Asian yellow peoples some will be cowards some wont ..

A slave is to use a person to benefit yourself while feeding them enough to keep them working for you to benefit<<< A SLAVE has no colour ..

1 thing i don't like about black people is they think they are the only ones who have ever been used as humans NO all colours have been slaves SO GET OVER IT ..

Money is the slave ..You slave away to get it..

A skin colour doesn't tell you what type of person they are

In most cases that was true. The European slave traders (especially the Portuguese and the Dutch) didn't had the resources to penetrate deep in to the tropical forest and conduct slave-catching raids. However, the Arabs succeeded in this, with the help of their half-breed native allies (in Sudan and East Africa).
