“In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia…”

i am willing to chip in to repatriate every problem race clown that is not 100% committed to be an integrated American citizen.

If that means “actin’ white”, tough shiite.

Joy’s facts are wrong. The blacks who landed in 1619 were considered indentured servants, who were set free after 4 to 7 years. One such was Anthony Johnson.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist)

“Johnson was granted a large plot of farmland by the colonial government after he paid off his indentured contract by his labor.[10] On July 24, 1651, he acquired 250 acres (100 ha) of land under the headright system by buying the contracts of five indentured servants, one of whom was his son Richard Johnson. The headright system worked in such a way that if a man were to bring indentured servants over to the colonies (in this particular case, Johnson brought the five servants), he was owed 50 acres a “head”, or servant.[11]”

Anthony Johnson, the black African immigrant who made out well as a free black in Virginia, holds the honor of introducing chattel slavery to Virginia

In 1655, a Virginia court declared that John Casor, Johnson’s indentured servant, was to be considered indentured for life to Johnson.
