Africans, "Blacks", were chosen because they are a humble and strong people. "People of Color" kissed by the sun and humble in nature are easy prey for the more aggressive European "White" human-beings. That is probably why most people of color were preyed upon and pillaged so easily. African countries were taken, and when "whites" needed cheap labor, the strong African was their ideal choice. Slavery dates back centuries before the African slave trade when Europeans were enslaving each other, but once Africans were found to be easily subdued and enslaved the rest is probably just history!

That is probably why black people live in America or African Americans I would know I'm black! :)
