On a management level- yes! Tribal chiefs ( who were Blacks) used the slave merchants ( White0 as a sort of clearinghouse to dispose of prisoners, tribal outcasts, and the like , they were financially compensated for this. The Blacks were in part- dumped into the slave system by other BlACKS. Another oddity- for the most part, Major religious bodies ignored the whole Slave Trade as more or less a necessary evil ( like, perhaps capital punishment)- and did not preach or come out with Encyclicals on the institution itself., Individual ministers, yes, organized denominations- but rarely. As far as I know no Pope ever condemned the practices of Slavery!

The word 'wicked' might be a bit of a strong term. However, Sixtus was far from a shining example of virtue and purity. He gave Portugal permission to open slave trade from Africa and is said to have maintained sexual relations with a number of homosexuals. He was not totally worthless as a pope and did have a few good points. He was a patron of the arts and science and was unhappy with the excesses of the Inquisition and condemned the most flagrant abuses in 1482.
He was a slave (shepherd) for 6 years. Next he became a priest and then was elevated to bishop by Pope Celestine.
From the pope, you see the Swiss offered to be the popes body guards so the pope gave Switzerland money!
