Some will say that slaves didn't come from Afrika or at least not as many as reported. They were shipped from the Americas to Afrika and beyond. Others will tell them to go and ask an Afrikan about the history instead of reading a book written by people that have NEVER stepped foot on the Motherland.
Oral tradition has proven such statements to be uneducated at best. I am still evolving.......

Sudan Means "Land of the Blacks"....Nubia
The name Sudan comes etymologically from the Arabic Bilad as-Sudan, "Land of the Blacks", a term originally referred to most of the Sahel region. That term previously had servile connotation. Nevertheless, history has demonstrated that no single racial or ethnic group has a monopoly on human creativity and initiative especially in a world of increasingly fluid mobility. Since religion and ethnicity have been so significant in defining communal identity in Sudan, issues such as racial discrimination and disparity in wealth distribution and power sharing between the hegemonic elites from the Northern region and the rest of the population, have been seen by many as inseparable from them. One would wonder how best Sudanese national identity can be restructured.
