"Historians estimate that between the advent of Islam in 650 CE and the abolition of slavery in the Arabian Peninsula in the mid-20th century, 10 to 18 million black Africans (known as the Zanj) were enslaved by east African slave traders and transported to the Arabian Peninsula and neighboring countries"
I find this racist against Arabs and Islam and cheap propaganda from Westerners who are trying to get rid of the of guilty by accusing others, The slave trade from Abyssinia was before Islam, and this number is very exaggerated. The Arabs did not have huge ships to transport this number of slaves 197.253.204.239 (talk) 15:48, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

No. Absolutely not. Even ignoring the fallacious Ngram argument (which clearly doesn't take into account other uses of the term 'blacks'), it is offensive. This article is about people, who deserve to be described as such. AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:11, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
