A black man owning white slaves/indentured servants. Did not last very long.

Who was Parker?

This is horribly written so I will make it simple.

It was a black American, a former slave himself, who won the right to introduce chattel slavery in the US.

Irony of history that is not well known.

Every few years someone (often, but not always, a Palestinian sympathizer) will write an article claiming that a lot of Jews supported the Nazis. Or were Nazis. Or bankrolled the Nazis. Or something. The story often changes - and is always nonsense - but the point is the same: the writer is trying somehow to blame the Jews for the genocide perpetrated against them.

This, to me, seems kind of like the same thing. Did some free blacks own slaves? Sure. Does that shift the burden of responsibility away from the slavers, and the great plantation owners, all of whom were white? Of course not.

I have known this little factoid for a long time...

Whenever I get into a discussion with a brain dead libtard about my white guilt and why we owe reparations for slavery, I bring this up...

They never believe it...

After all they are brain dead...

It’s not a *secret*.

I’m so sick of headlines that try to drag people in with the idea that they have some new *secret* revelation and nobody else knows.

[metmom]

It’s not your fault the headline is awful.

I’m not going off on you. Sorry if it seemed that way.

There were quite a few black slave owners before the War of Northern Aggression.

Of course slavery started with blacks. Blacks sold blacks to Arabs. Arabs did not beat the bushes for them. Arabs bought blacks from blacks. Then Arabs took the blacks to market and sold them to white slave traders.

Neither is it well known that only 4.8% of white Southerners owned slaves, but 28% of black freedmen owned slaves. Meaning that men who once had lived as slaves but won emancipation were more than 5x more likely to indulge in the practice than whites who never had borne the yoke.
