Obviously this moron doesn't know that blacks fought on the side of the Confederacy and that freed black men in the South also owned slaves.

Interesting perspective. However, I believe more blacks fought on the side of the Union.

And, were there any instances where a freed black man owned a WHITE slave?

Though I'm no expert on the War Between the States and have only read one book long ago about a white illegitimate male that became a white slave; I'm not sure of how many white slaves there were.

Perhaps some other FReeper can educate the both of us.
