An honest discussion of race in America would include the fact that whites were slaves, for sure, but it would also have to accommodate the obscene truth that as many as 4,000 free black families owned slaves in the antebellum South. More stunning still is that, arguably, the first slave master in early America was a black man.

” .. the first slave master in early America was a black man.”

An article in Smithsonian Magazine, a decade or two ago, reported the name of the first owner of enslaved Africans in the Virginia colony, and he was a black man.

I vaguely recall that there was a court case, perhaps in colonial times but maybe later, which was won by a black slave owner. That case established the ownership and slavery for life of another black man. While I believe that the case was heard in Virginia, I may be mistaken on that point.

RE: An honest discussion of race in America would include . . . .

must also include today's domestic violence and honest reporting on slavery in Islamic countries. Holder does not want that. Period.

Earlier a talk show host said that to his knowledge DoJ stopped gathering crime statistics where race was included; i.e., white on black, black on white.

I think it is true that (as I call 'em) the Obama-Holder Department of Just Us and Our People have suppressed some very embarrassing race crime facts -- obviously because the stats expose the lies, lies, and more lies of the Victims and Civil Rights industries used to augment the retelling 24/7 of the horrors of 150 years ago.

1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Just one crime to illustrate. During the years listed above white victims of sex crimes identified black offenders every year -- usually in the range of 10 percent or so of the crimes.

Contrast that with white on black sex crimes.. there were years when there were none..zero.. to be accurate; if any were reported there were so few (less than 10) reported among the tens of thousands that statistically there were zero for each of those years.

What kind of honest race discussion does Obama and Holder want?

If anyone can find Statistical Tables Table 42: "Percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, by type of crime, race of victim, and perceived race of offender" for the years 2009 to the present then I'd appreciate links and may have to apologize for my error if indeed those are the tables like before.

The weaker African tribes were attacked and captured by the more powerful tribes who then sold them to the mudslime slave traders. They then sold the humans to the Dutch or English slave traders who transported them to the New World.

If you ask me, this is all the fault of mudslimes.
