while white hating racist blacks will never admit it the truth is there own people and muslim arabs were the biggest exporter of slaves to Europe and America ! now I am not trying to justify slavery in any form !!! the people that bought those slaves from muslims and blacks off the slave coast were just as despicable as the people they purchased them from . the point of this thread is to expose the truth in the fact that blacks are just as guilty as whites for slavery ! and here is the kicker people are still being sold into slavery today by muslim [the fastest growing religion in black communities in the US ] and black overlords !
William Ellison - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Not comparing numbers of people, but percentage wise,
the percentage of whites in the South who were slave owners versus citizens not wealthy enough
was parallel to the percentage of blacks who were slave owners (according to a video that cited Ellison).
If that is so, then this seems to indicate that slave ownership was by CLASS, where a certain %
of both whites and blacks was independently wealthy enough to manage their own slave business as Ellison did as a trader.
NOTE: With RACE this is an ADDED factor
A. Genocide was committed to annihilate the family lines of the negro slaves to subjugate them
B. Rape/forced breeding was done using black males on both black and white/Irish slaves to produce more black slaves
C. Keeping slaves demarcated with dark skin helped to distinguish them, so Race WAS used to divide white from black
Even blacks can be racist against blacks.
Just like both men and women can be sexist and demean women while giving more authority and privileges to men.
So just because blacks participated in slavery
doesn't mean it wasn't racial oppression of blacks.
Whether done by black or white traders,
It still was targeting, subjugating and dividing blacks to enslave them.
