the take I have on it is more in tune with that of dr John Henrik Clarke...
you see at the time there was no black slavery by the arabs or anyone. the conquest of spain by africans had not begun yet. arabia was still an ethiopian colony.
it is to ethiopia the prophet went for safety when he was under great pressure in arabia.
it is ethiopia that made early islam safe and gave it the means to prospers as it did. without ethiopia islam would have died in its infancy
Bilal was ethiopian. the prophet a camel boy was illiterate. that is why the rich widow paid for his teachers one of whom was Bilal. Bilal could not possibly have been a slave. none of the early africans among the founders of Islam were slaves.
all of that is from later arabic racism out of which flows the current founding story to justify whatever the hell they are about with the religion..whatever they are doing with it
