Who is worse? The drug dealer? Or the drug user? When it came to slavery, blacks were the dealers. Whites were the users.

Blacks did not willingly sell themselves into slavery. In fact, they had no say in the matter. The equivalence doesn't really work, I don't think.
Agreed, but it was mostly blacks who captured and sold the slaves.

Were they black Muslim slave traders? I’m curious about that aspect, because Libya continues the practice.

Hmm. And this occurred in the previous administration, but I’d rather the US stop meddling overseas, & I served in the Navy for almost 7 years. My sister retired as a Chief in the Navy. My brother went through the Academy. We can project power with our carriers, if we have to.

Until about 1808... and even then, "Blacks sold the slaves" is a gross oversimplification.
