The were called hypocrites because in The Bible, God taught us to love and respect one another and treat everyone equally. And as majority of slave owners being Christians, they weren't practicing the words of God, Which makes them hypocrites.

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.


Why was it important it is for slave owners to keep slaves ignorant?

Slave owners kept slaves ignorant to maintain control and power over them. By restricting their access to education and information, slave owners were able to prevent slaves from becoming aware of their rights and abilities, making it easier to exploit and control them. Keeping slaves ignorant also prevented them from organizing or resisting their situation effectively.
