    The fact is large numbers of free Negroes owned black slaves; in fact, in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society at large. In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. According to the U.S. census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some eight million of them lived in the slaveholding states.

    There's a contradiction between your parable and that headline.

    I get tired of people using this as evidence of blacks owning slaves or slavery being about money instead of race......

    Your story left out some important information....

    Like....

    "In 1665, Anthony Johnson moved to Maryland and leased a 300-acre plantation, where he died five years later. But back in Virginia that same year, a jury decided the land Johnson left behind could be seized by the government because he was a "negroe and by consequence an alien."

    If anything, it illustrates the development of racial slavery in the U.S.......

    slavery was a choice. alot of people was wilfully slaves ( jusr like today) then u had the rebels who fought against.

    not only black people was slaves, but the black race are the ones who cooperate with slavery more than other races so we stayed in physical slavery the longest.. & r willfully in modern day slavery today..

    slavery was.actually started by blacks.. it was black on.black slavery and white on white.. then that started racial slavery.

    @Sion she needs to be banned. Her fuckery is getting ridiculous.

    But that "give me liberty or give me death" ? is too real, I never understood the "go along to get along" slave mentality ?

    Bruh you really gon lie down and die? Yes some may agree that slavery is a fate worse than death, but an animals desire to live is our strongest instinct....it takes a lot to collectively destroy our will to live.

    and yall ? get angry with me when i say we need to do better?

    this is what minimum education does......let those with a motive control their mind becuase they dont know how to think.

    so much division would not be allowed in other cultures without a cultural civil war.

    if our 13% needs to trim the fat down to about 9% and create our own to be a stronger 100%...than thats what we need to do.

    but this ? does not need to be tolerated.

    these are descendants of along list of house negros:

    coonhoe: my great granddaddy jebbadia wuz the original two stepper
    as was my granddaddy and my daddy.
    my two step just comes with a twist...hair twist that is...tahee tahee tahee

    ? and house ? started slavery. ? house ? and crackers all the same, they all about greed.

    they brought slaves with a price, we was sold to America by our own kind. some of us was deceived and tricked, and then rebel when we saw it was wicked.

    slavery was a deceitful business a underhanded ? game full of scammers black and white was a part of the history.

    nobody said racisim didnt exist, but the truth is blacks was a part of it

    Just a confused black woman


    Nothing to see here folks.

    You like to excuse too much ? .

    How about black people like her are just what they say they are and I am going to believe her for telling and showing me exactly what she is. Instead of coming up with an excuse for the ? by saying she is "confused" take her for her word and actions and treat the ? accordingly.
