Did you know that the first case law establishing the right of an American to hold another person as legally owned property was filed by a black man? In essence, the first American slave holder was BLACK.
A formerly indentured servant who had paid off his indenture and was a freeman purchased another black person as a slave. Case went to court, found for the freedman and established in case law (precedent) the right for one man to own another in America.
This is an interesting read on the topic of Negro slaveholders:

I always think of the classic SNL skit with Julian Bond, where he said that “Lighter skinned blacks are smarter than darker-skinned blacks.”
