Aside from the psychological trauma of owning another person, historically slave owning societies are far less innovative than those that are not. With the presence of virtually free labor there is no reason to develop labor saving devices after all, and in some ways doing so can be detrimental to the social system itself. For example, in ancient Rome water wheels were known, but went unused because building a mechanical device to grind grain meant that slaves would not be required to that work, and it was feared that they would use their free time to cause trouble and plan revolts.

Were there black slave owners?
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.
