Meanwhile 66% of slave owners in America were black.
I know a few slave owners were black but I'm going to need to see a source on that 66% figure as anybody with any common sense or knowledge of history knows there was in no way a majority of slave owners where were black. That would mean the Confederacy fought for black slave owners for their right to own slaves.
In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people.
I didn't say that 66% of slaves were owned by blacks, I said 66% of slave owners were black. And the data is from the 1860 US census, which you can find and examine here.
Doesn't there have to be intent for there to be sin? Mens rea, there has to be intent for a crime. Or does that not matter with God? Are you supposed to know the scriptures well enough that you don't sin?
