Your claim was that the first person to own a slave was a Black person. That silly shit has been debunked. 99.9% of the Blacks that did own slaves owned their relatives to keep them from being enslaved by whites. Thats just a fact that silly ass white boys like you gloss over.Debunked my ass, blacks owned slaves. It's part of our nasty history, just a part that's been glossed over by people like you.So why you keep posting that bullshit with the same debunked picture and story? Are you fucking retarded?"primarily" LOLFreed blacks primarily purchased family members, spouses and children.And blacks were the owners of some of those slaves.not quite!]first-american-slave-owner-was-black

Race and Belonging in Colonial America: The Story of Anthony Johnson
Learn about Anthony Johnson, a Black forced laborer who became free in seventeenth-century Virginia.www.facinghistory.org
Many White Supremacist groups have developed an argument that Anthony Johnson was the first legal slave owner in the British colonies that became the United States. That claim is historically false and misleading. Anthony Johnson was, in fact, enslaved by an English settler on his arrival to North America. The development of the institution of slavery in North America was complex and nuanced. In the 17th century, the enslavement of Africans co-existed with indentured servitude, and laws governing both were in flux. Some of the enslaved, like Johnson, were able to gain their freedom, own land, and benefit from the servitude of others. By the beginning of the 18th century, however, colonies began to make legal distinctions based on new racial categories; the legal status of African Americans deteriorated while the rights of European Americans gained increased protection. A system of slavery in which enslavement was lifelong, hereditary, and based solely on race was established.
