Racially Incorrect Facts Regarding Race and Slavery

As was recently shown, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, with its central claim that police around the country are hunting and killing innocent black men, is a lie. Yet the BLM myth is enmeshed within a larger narrative, a narrative of eternal White Racism. And couched within this tale are distortions and outright crucially false ideas of slavery.

In the interest of that "honest discussion" of race that the Eric Holders and Barack Obamas of the world claim to want, I submit considerations without which no such discussion can be had. One glaringly inconvenient truth that, odds are, few folks of any race are aware is that the very first legal slave owner in America was one Anthony Johnson—a black man. More specifically, Johnson was an Angolan who himself had been an indentured servant in the colony of Virginia before he became a tobacco planter himself. One of the African indentured servants who worked Johnson’s 300 acre plot of land was John Casor.

When Casor had completed his seven year term of service to Johnson, he asked to be freed. Johnson refused. The latter did, however, agree to lend him out to a local white colonist, Robert Parker. Yet not long after having made this agreement Johnson had a change of heart and took Parker to court where he charged him with having robbed him of his "negro servant."

In 1655, a white court sided with the black African over a white man and, in addition to making him pay damages to Johnson, ordered Parker to return Casor to Johnson. However, Johnson v Parker issued a dramatic legal change: While making his case, Johnson, in referring to Casor, insisted that, "Thee had ye Negro for his life."

“It is sold as morality, you’re so good if you accept collective guilt.
And you get to engage in moral bullying of your peers. “I’ll save X groups by making my own people shut up, shun them, shame them.””

True. You might appreciate the following...

Oh good gosh. Slavery has been a common human institution among all races for all of our recorded history. It’s still very much in practice today, especially among Africans and mohammedans. It was white Christians in Europe and America that ended slavery among the civilized. Those white Christians should be celebrated rather than defiled.

I don’t want ethnic identity to be the primary identifier for everyone, since group rights in that model destroy individual rights.
But liberals harp on it to make everyone feel afraid of everyone else wanting to oppress them and thus run to Mommy State to protect them from the big bad X, Y, Z.
So you see whites, men and others essentially forming identity groups based on demographics by default.

“So you see whites, men and others essentially forming identity groups based on demographics by default.”

Of course. You have to to survive! You are targeted as a group by other groups, so you must defend yourself as a group. United we stand, divided we fall.

Unfortunately what makes the whites’ and even the men’s situation particularly difficult is that we are not united. Our worst enemies are not the blacks or the Hispanics, instead it’s the enemy within, i.e. self hating whites and white opportunists. In other words the most ardent attackers of whites are other whites! These are the pseudo intellectuals and opinion shapers that inhabit the universities, the media and hollywood.

So what will it take for whites to become one? And if not, can the two factions be separated with each going their own way?
