Why does the black community never notice that Muslims were the biggest slave-traders in history, and still practice slavery?

“Why does the black community never notice that Muslims were the biggest slave-traders in history, and still practice slavery?”:

And, more African slaves went to the Arab world than to North or South America, but there are few descendants in those population. A possible reason is that the Muslims preferred that their male slaves be eunuchs. An interesting account of The Role of Islam in Slavery:

“Black Africans were transported to the Islamic empire across the Sahara to Morocco and Tunisia from West Africa, from Chad to Libya, along the Nile from East Africa, and up the coast of East Africa to the Persian Gulf. This trade had been well entrenched for over 600 years before Europeans arrived, and had driven the rapid expansion of Islam across North Africa.”

Some of what the Muslim "holy book" says about blacks: Whoever says Muhammad was black must be killed…(Ash‑Shifa, Tr. Aisha Abdarrahman, 2004)_______________________________________________________ Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said, “Anyone who says that the Prophet was black should be killed. (ibid, p.375) _______________________________________________________ In one Hadith, Mohammed referred to Blacks as Raisn Heads (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol. 9, no. 256), and as pug nosed slaves in Sahih Moslem vol. 9 pages 46 and 47.
