For Black History Month, I'll be re-reading my Thomas Sowell book collection, re-watching Alan West speeches, and Sundays will be dedicated to listening to Pastor Manning.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.
I was watching public television the other day and that black professor (I don’t remember his name, went to the beer summit with zero) showed Chris Rock that his ancestors had been slaves held by American Indians. Blew his mind. He said something to the effect of, “I don’t know how to feel about that. I always considered both blacks and Indians as being suppressed by whites.” And so on.
If he had lived today, he’d surely be a transfer payment slave on the Democrats’ Plantation, where no black is allowed to succeed lest he vote Republican. Congratulations, Liberals.
Don't wake up the libtards with facts...LOL

While the posting was true, it is not politically correct, therefor will never be allowed to be taught in schools. Much like the fact that 60-70 thousand blacks fought for the south( Southern army was integrated). Up until the Northern media and Hollywood vilified the Confederate flag ( 1950-1960’s) many Southern Blacks had confederate flags in their home. The KKK flew ONLY the U.S. flag,never the Confederate battle flag that many Southern black fought under.

What is notable about the case is that Mr Johnson himself was black, and one of the first blacks to come to Jamestown in 1619, as an indentured servant.
Sure there are examples of slaves that were allowed an education and who earned their freedom. But I am not sure of your point.
While I think using the shortest month of the year for “Black History” month is some white guy’s idea of a bad joke, I don’t think it is reasonable to hold up a single example of anyone as a reason to perpetuate the slave class.
While there might have been 250,000 free negroes in the south before the war, there were still, by your numbers, some 3 million or so who were slaves.
Slavery was an abomination. No grey area about it. We talk about “Free Republic” and every person has the God given right to be free.
That said, I agree that generations of freed slave ancestors need to move on from the civil war and their treatment. I believe that there are a lot of white men and women who are very willing to give any other free person in this country a hand up. But that requires getting up off your ass to take the hand when it is offered to you. AND, there is a moral obligation to turn around, and help the next person in line.
Actually that statistic is misleading and those figures cannot be true. If one looks at the 1860 census figures for Orleans Parish, subtract the free black male and female children (on the assumption that they wouldn't be slave holders), assume that most black male adults were married to one of the black female adults, and for the 3000 black slaveholder figure to be true virtually every black family in the city owned a slave. And that 72% of all slaveholders were black, in spite of the fact that free blacks comprised less than 7% of the total population. In short, those statistics don't make any sense whatsoever.
