To be completely and intentionally politically incorrect, what is it with blacks and their love for Islam?
Feeble minds are easy prey for authoritarians.
They just can't stop trying to please the slave master!
Particularly since it was the Muslims who enslaved the Subsaharan Africans, bought and sold them in the MR slave markets, and then started selling them directly to the Europeans and Americans.
Btw, at the start, many slaves were Europeans, captured by Muslims on the Mediterranean, and then offered for ransom...or sale in the slave markets. The Portuguese got into the field of slave trading because they had contacts with the Muslims from their Muslim occupation and served as intermediaries in ransoming Europeans. They would then charge 20% (a fifth, a “quinta”) of the ransom price.
This eventually became the standard commission on African slaves, but the Portuguese, the British and the Americans then started dealing directly with the Muslims and handing the resale on their own.
