Not to mention they SOLD them too. And still do to this day.
The first legally-owned slave in America was owned by a black man.
When I was in Africa, as we passed through villages, my interpreter would explain to me how those people has been his ancestors slaves.
Not indentured servants, but white slaves.
Those were the vagabonds, beggars and people who were in the poor houses in the UK and were ordered out in the 1600s.
Indentured servitude wasnt that much different.
It appears my English GGGGGGF was an indentured servant to my Black GGGGGGGF and married his daughter who was half black quarter Indian and quarter German. So yes he was a slave to a black man.
I’m sure this is a standard item in ‘difficult’ race discussions.
Right?
Blacks like LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick own modern-day slaves, but they outsource that ownership to the Chi-Coms, so they can pose as morally superior.
Bkmk
History didn’t forget,,IT BURIED THE TRUTH...Last thing any black activist now or then wanted was to paint black people as slave owners.... The black activists today bury the fact that Africa was the one who sold them to the whites.....
The history of slavery would not be complete without the story of the first slave owner in the colonies.
Anthony Johnson, a former indentured servant, upon serving out his indenture, got himself a black indentured servant.
Johnson later argued in court that his servant, John Casor, should be considered his slave for life, thus initiating slavery in the colonies.
Johnson was black.

Black slave owners.
The largest slave owner in Clarendon County, SC was a black man.
It seems that only the American blacks are ignorant of this.
I studied the Metoyer family from Louisiana. As my tag line might suggest, I am a descendent of slave owners. I have used the Metoyer story repeatedly to educate others. It’s not all my fault. https://www.lib.lsu.edu/sites/all/files/sc/fpoc/history.html
I hadn’t heard that there were that many black slave-owners.
Neat trick considering in 1860 there were fewer than 2500 free black people in all of Orleans Parish.
Cherokee Chief Major Ridge acquired the title "Major" in 1814, during his service leading the Cherokee alongside the United States General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend during the Creek War against the Red Sticks. ... He developed a plantation, owned 30 African-American slaves as laborers, and became a wealthy planter.Prominent Cherokee slaveowners included the families of Joseph Lynch, Joseph Vann, Major Ridge, Stand Watie, Elias Boudinot, and Principal Chief John Ross.
Built by Joseph Vann's father, James, the The Chief Vann House still stands near Chatsworth, GA. Before the main Cherokee Removal to Oklahoma Territory began, in 1837, Joseph Vann voluntarily moved his whole family and slaves there before the Trail of Tears started. He had his slaves build an identical replacement for this house in Oklahoma. He died in 1844 when one of the boilers blew up on one of his Stream boats that he was piloting on the Mississippi River.
Hi.
Methinks you are correct in assuming most people don’t know this fact. Just like, in smaller numbers there were White slaves.
