Going back to the beginning of civilization, most slaves through history were not black. 'White' people have been enslaved by millions and millions, from Greek and Roman times until well into the 19th century in Russia. In most Arab and Asian countries slavery was endemic, with many countries holding millions of their countrymen as slaves until long after the end of black slavery by countries like England, France and the USA.

The transatlantic slave trade (although big in numbers) was only a small part of the slave trade of Africans by Africans. The major reason given around 1890 for colonization in Africa was 'putting an end to slavery', since local rulers could not be brought to do it otherwise. It was in fact the first thing that (in most cases) France and Britain did after colonizing an African country.
