One glaringly inconvenient truth that, odds are, few folks of any race are aware is that the very first legal slave owner in America was one Anthony Johnson — a black man.

BLM is a politically correct movement.
The opposite of politically correct is factually correct.

BLM, aka Obama’s Army.
An interesting set of novels is the Benjamin January series by Barbara Hambly. January is a free man of color in New Orleans in the 1830s. He was born a slave but freed by his mother’s “protector” - a white planter. His father was all African and his mother was mulatto. His mother was also freed and owned slaves. Interesting look at the system back then in NO.

Interesting. Sobering.
If White Racism is, indeed, eternal and irremediable, then there are two choices for behaviour in that light; learn to live with it and deal with it or kill or enslave all white people. Moslems and BLM seem to have reached similar conclusions as to how to proceed.

I spent some time in Liberia.
You know what the freed slaves from the US did when they got back to Africa?
You guessed it, they enslaved the backs that were already there.
If it wasn’t for African slave-raiding and muslim slave-trading in Africa, there would have been no slavery in the New World.
The great majority of New World slaves toiled in the Caribbean and in South America. Slavery in what become the U.S. was small in comparison.
Bump
Slavery as practiced in the old South and in 16th Century Europe was introduced by muslims. Had there been no Islam then it is doubtful that slavery would have ever arisen in Europe and America.

Muslims created the “markets” for capture and transport of African slaves for many centuries before Europeans ever got there. Local and regional African tribes did the killing, capture, and enslavement of their neighbors. European slave trading, when it finally developed, tapped into centuries old traditions of barbaric enslavement.
That doesn’t absolve anyone who was involved in slavery, but it is ludicrous for leftards to pretend that slavery was only about white Europeans or later Americans...
Relative to their numbers in the population (27 million according to the 1860 census), a miniscule number of whites owned slaves. Eight million whites lived in the South, but of these, fewer than 325,000 owned slaves. What this means is that only 1.4 percent of the total white population consisted of slave owners, and only 4.8 percent of the white Southern population did so.
In glaring contrast, in this same year, there were 4.5 million blacks living in America, and 500,000 blacks in the South. Over half of these—261, 988—were freed men. In the city of New Orleans alone, more than 3,000 blacks owned slaves. That is, 28 percent of the free black population consisted of slave holders.
If I am reading this right, there were 325k slave owners, but only 250k slaves (500k in south, 261k freed men)?
I plan on going on Sunday.
The spouse who thinks democrats are basically good refuses to see it. She won’t vote for them at least.
