12734372, I used to think African Americans and Jewish folks were in the same boat

It would seem many a Jewish person apparently profited from the trade. Being somewhat in a state of disbelief I checked a number of sites just to make sure I wasn't on any hate related pages and came across the following:
http://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/europe/131231-dutch-rabbi-jews-were-deeply-involved-in-slave-trade
Of course there are many other sites with the info as well. It's funny how we never learned about this particular chapter in school.
tl;dr There's a rabbi writing about the Jewish involvement I the slave trade.
