There were many black slave owners in the South or did you miss that in your history books? When Ruffin caned Stevens on the floor of Congress, it was the black slave owners of Charleston that presented Ruffin with a new cane to carry with him back to Congress.

I know all about the black slave owners. And how The Cherokees owned them too. Slavery knows no race or color. What’s your point?

I did not know that, and that's funny.
