Brianna Taylor grand jury in

Yes, another year of riots coupled with sky high gas prices and inflation and the Democratic Party will be basically extinct after the midterms. So much for turning our nation into a Marxist socialist workers’ paradise.

Not going to happen.

No, you have centuries of lies. The first ever slave case was a black dude fighting to keep his black slave.

That is a fact.

Wrong. If we ignore the 1619 project, the first slave case was in 1640 when a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses made John Punch a slave for life. That is a fact. Your story about Anthony Johnson is not.

Jim Crow Apartheid is fact. Nothing I present in this regard is a lie. It's all documented.

Was the first slave owner in America a Black man? No, that's not true: Anthony Johnson, an Angolan who was an indentured servant in the Virginia colony starting in 1621, did gain the recognized right to own property, including slaves, after he was released following years of being an indentured servant. He used slaves on his Maryland tobacco farm, but he was not the first person to own slaves in the colonies.

The claim has reappeared over the past decade or more in memes, articles and posts, including in this video (archived here) by Charlie Kirk on Facebook on July 11, 2021, under the title "Black Americans: the Government is NOT Your Friend." It featured a Black man making a statement and addressing a question to Kirk:

Anthony Johnson's life story, which started in Africa and ended as a slave owner in Maryland, is often misrepresented because of a misunderstanding about the evolution of the status of Africans brought to the American colonies starting in 1619. Indentured servants from Europe were already in the Virginia colony, serving a specified number of years to pay off a debt generally incurred for their passage to North America.

The Africans were considered in the same category initially, although that status changed decades later to make their servitude lifelong and transferable to their descendants. Johnson was released from his servitude by the middle of the 17th century and began accumulating his own property, which eventually included an African servant "for life" named John Casor, according to an article published by the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS).

In 1621, Johnson was delivered to Virginia's shores as an African captive, simply called 'Antonio.' By the mid-17th century, he became a landowner newly named 'Anthony Johnson.' His ability to gain freedom resembles the functions of indentured servitude, in which an unfree laborer is bound to work for a landowner for a specific length of time. Once they satisfied the terms of their indenture, they could freely acquire land and capital.

The belief that Johnson's ownership of a slave would somehow make all African Americans living now responsible for slavery is countered by what eventually happened to Johnson's estate. The AAIHS article pointed to Harvard history professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s book "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross":

According to Henry Louis Gates, after Johnson's death a court ruled he was 'a negro, and by consequence, an alien.' Subsequently, the colony of Virginia seized his family's land and his descendants fade from the historical record. Presumably, they either fled the colony as anti-Black racism proliferated, or, more likely, they lost their freedom. Anthony Johnson and his descendants exemplify how the US took everything from Black people, even if they followed every rule.

While Johnson was an early American slave owner, he was not the first. If you do not count those who controlled indentured servants, the first person legally recognized under the definition as a servant "for life" -- or a slave -- was likely a man named John Punch, according to the AAIHS:

The existing scholarship indicates that John Punch was the first man known to be perpetually enslaved on July 9, 1640, a punishment he received for attempting to flee his indenture. He absconded alongside two fellow servants, a 'dutchman' named Victor and a 'Scotchman called James Gregory.' Following their apprehension, his counterparts each received only one additional year upon their indenture, while Punch, listed as a 'negro,' was enslaved 'for the time of his natural Life.' Punch's sentence documents an early framework for the growing attachment between Blackness and enslavement in North America, as the indentured white men did not receive similar punishment. Thus, Hugh Gwyn, the man who owned John Punch, would be the first recognized slaveholder, eliminating the spurious claim that a Black man innovated the North American system.

It is sad and ever frustrating that so many Americans don’t care to understand this about our history and are now openly and actively trying to suppress any efforts to expand understanding.
Even something as simple as police reform is a dead end.
I thought that when Sen. Tim Scott was open with his experiences with police who even now, while he’s a sitting US Senator, said he is pulled over 6 or 7 times a year, would have had a larger effect than it did. I have been driving for nearly forty years and have not been pulled over 6 or 7 times altogether. That’s no doubt most white folks experience.

White privilege is not having to worry about such things, understand the repercussions to those targeted or even accept that it’s real at all.

Sad but true.

 

[miketx]

Wrong.

 

[Markle]

the reason for arresting Roger Stone that way is two main reasons.

They could have just let him come in voluntarily, but that risks both fleeing and destroying evidence.
The other reason is roger stone's talk of training on firing range and civil war.

If anything you posted was true, what strategic need for safety and security was served by notifying CNN and having an entire news and film crew at the scene at the time of the "raid".

Even you know the entire purpose was to humiliate and embarrass them for no other reason than political.

IF Roger Stone was as "dangerous" as you fantasize, police have a system in place to make that arrest safely. I can guarantee you that the officers involved would have preferred a different way of making the arrest.

Not going to happen.

Rising gasoline prices and inflation are definitely going to happen and are happening right now.

If the jury doesn’t find Rittenhouse guilty there is an excellent chance cities will burn.

Lost in space Joe Biden will have absolutely no idea what to do if riots do occur. Of course to be fair, Joe Biden will have no idea what to do about all the other problems if riots don’t occur.

You apparently don't live in reality.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Are you stupid? Police aren’t free to harass or attack someone simply because they may have had prior arrests.
They were both innocent victims of the police incompetence. Neither were sought in the warrant executed at their address.

Harass? They had a warrant, dumbfuck.

Yes, "no knock" is a violation of rights and gets people killed. But you moron Nazis try and make it out like Walker and Taylor were innocent victims rather than the violent thugs they were.

Anyone kicks my door in unannounced and I shoot to kill. But that doesn't make these violent drug dealers "innocent." Walker can't be held for shooting a cop, but he's still a drug dealing pile of shit.

 

[Uncensored2008]

I think that as a black man in America that I know what the problem is better than some racist white scumbag. The root cause of our problem is white racism. Therefore white racists such as yoirself are our worst enemy.

You're a fucking racist pile of shit. YOU are the problem. And you fucking well know it.

They were not the target of the warrant, dope. They were victims. The cops got it wrong.

They were not the target of the warrant, dope. They were victims. The cops got it wrong.

{LMPD obtained a "no-knock" search warrant for Taylor's apartment at 3003 Springfield Drive in Louisville. The search warrant included Taylor's residence because it was suspected that Glover received packages containing drugs there, might have been "keeping narcotics and/or proceeds from the sale of narcotics"[43] there, and because a car registered to Taylor had been seen parked in front of Glover's house several times.[17][45] }

You are an ignorant racist, as always.

{
But after careful reflection, Johnson was certain that Casar was his servant for life; a slave. Johnson then sued the Parker brothers for unlawfully taking his property from him, and since there were no other indentures for John Casar, he was returned to the Johnsons.

The courts ruled in favor of Anthony Johnson and declared John Casor his property in 1655. Casor became the first person of African descent in Britain’s Thirteen Colonies to be declared as a slave for life as the result of Johnson’s civil suit.}

Jim Crow Apartheid is fact. Nothing I present in this regard is a lie. It's all documented.

Apartheid?

You're such a racist moron......

 

[Cecilie1200]

It's actually more like:

The right - reasonable argument

The left - lame meme attempting to draw a false parallel between two non-comparable things

 

[Cecilie1200]

We all know the standards are different for the white folk. Sorry I meant GOP.

We all know you see everything as being about race, because all racist shitbags do.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Why is it that Democrats always feel they need to bring in irrelevant things?

Two reasons.

1) Anything relevant also shows their positions to be stupid and evil.

2) They're too dumb to know what's relevant, anyway.

 

[Cecilie1200]

with all the claims of rittenhouse defending himself, why not remember Kenneth Walker defending himself.

Maybe because we aren't evil braindead morons who desperately worship scumbags, the way you are?

With all the claims of Rittenhouse being a horrible murderer, why not aim some of your vitriol at Kenneth Walker?
