What are your thoughts of the blacks that owned white slaves?

What of the conversations between Adams and Washington by the demands of black slave owners to pay to free their white slaves?

Slavery and comparing to communism is apples and oranges.

Slavery is wrong, no matter who is practising it. Whether it is blacks enslaving blacks, or whites enslaving whites, or any other combination, slavery is wrong. Robert E. Lee was right to oppose slavery.

Communism was a form of slavery. The communist governments promised the people that they would be well fed and have job security, but that all their rights and freedoms would be taken away from them. Ronald Reagan often compared communism to slavery.
