Not in the USA because to be a slave you had to have black blood in your system which means that if you had black blood in your system you were not considered human but cattle and therefore a slave. However outside America there were plenty of black slave traders. And black tribesmen involved in selling other black people into slavery. The whites were the end users; the blacks and the Arabs were the suppliers.
This is not true at all. William Ellison was a Black slave owner in South Carolina and the majority of slave owners in New Orleans were Black. William Ellison, whose slave name was April, became a slave magnate and expanded his business throughout the south, from South Carolina to the Mississippi River. I would strongly suggest you Google "Black Slave Owners" and I guarantee that you will have a plethora of information.

Slaves could not be married to their owners, for their owners were most likely white. Back during the Civil War; and before then, it was not necessarily a law, but un-allowed for a black man to marry a white woman, or a black woman to marry a white man. I believe, to marry a white woman or man and be black, I think you must be an ex- slave. You can't be a slave if you marry a slave owner.
