Most black slaves brought over from Africa had likely owned slaves themselves, lived in towns and villages with slaves, or may have already been slaves. Slavery was rampant in the middle east, parts of Asia, and even some parts of Europe. Here's a good site for you to look at, it has the census information on black slave owners dating back to 1790's.
