why is it anti-black?
there were more white people enslaved by north Africans in the 1600-1700 than ever black slaves in America

You missed out "in the same time period".
From TFA you link to:
Davis, by contrast, has calculated that [highlight]between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians[/highlight] were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries… Over the course of four centuries, [highlight]the Atlantic slave trade was much larger – about 10 to 12 million black Africans were brought to the Americas[/highlight]. But [highlight]from 1500 to 1650[/highlight], when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy, more white Christian slaves were probably taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas, according to Davis.
