True. That is the common defense when you mention black slave owners, which did happen but there were legit slave owners who were black. I’ve heard people brush off African slavery with “well it wasn’t as bad”. We have interviews with former slaves in America. We don’t have that for African slavery. I’ve listened some old interviews with former slaves and as you would expect it runs the gamut from very cruel to very kind masters and everything in between.
Every time I hear “it wasn’t as bad” the first thing I say is “then where are their descendants?”. I did some quick math on it a while back and if the white slaves in Africa had the same population growth rate there would have been over 120 million white people in north Africa alone.

Oh yea. A show about the white African slaves. Actually learned about them because of Sowell. Arab slave trade as well
