Buying stolen merchandise, and continuing to keep it once you realise it's stolen, and from whom it's stolen, while definitely not as bad as doing the stealing,

It went from the sort of low key slave markets that existed everywhere, to arming and bankrolling civil war in the interior of the continent just to produce slaves as spoils of war to be sold at these markets. It completely destroyed inner Africa, creating conditions of warlords and ethnic strife that still exist today.
