Would you be surprised to know that blacks started slavery in the new world long before this nation was founded?

Anthony Johnson sued in the Virginia colony to enslave John Casor.

Would you also be surprised to know that by percentage blacks owned slaves at a higher rate than whites?

This nation was on good footing from its start. What would the solution be, absolve the USA then reconstitute it? That would seem retarded.

That would indeed be a surprise. Also deceptive. The millions of Black slaves owned no slaves, so the percentage of Blacks who owned slaves would have to be lower than the percentage of Whites who did.
