Just for balance, I can see how you could think shipping slaves from Africa to America via the Pacific and then the North Sea (of all places?) was unlikely. Maybe this person just isn't aware of the Atlantic Ocean.

Clearly slaves were shipped from the horn of Africa through the Suez canal. They then offloaded them in Nice France and flew them over to the US on C-5 Galaxy military transport planes.
