Certainly, followed by the arabs invading africa and doing the same. Yet, whites deserve all the shame and scorn.

Africans were all to willing to capture, enslave and sell their "brothers". Even today, things are not much changed, except their descendants in the US stick to simply murdering each other.

yes. Nice avatar- Sharptons neck is skinny, but he always looks fat still. That stomach surgery is dangerous for anyone.

Actually historically slavery is black people owning black slaves, many times over. That is not a well known throughout history - it's true nonetheless.

Well the first slave in America was owned by a black man. Not a white man, Closed Caption.

Black Africans had slaves too, in fact they still do. What is your point?

This is for Closed Caption:

America 8217 s first slave owner was a black man.

Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.

When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.

Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.

Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.

By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.

However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.

By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.

Sure. They practiced and profited from it. Why wouldn't they be?

We're not going to start another of these idiotic exchanges, are we?

Were you looking for who began slavery? Was the first to own a slave or are you looking for anyone to blame here?

That is quite an odd response. Where the blame ends? Most people look for where the blame originated. In the case of where slavery of black people originated in America, it would be with their own race. A black man. Thanks for reading and in the future do your research first. It will save you the humiliation.

Your attempt to blame the white people for this one has failed.

 

[ClosedCaption]

So blacks are the only ones responsible for their actions and not whites? Thats pretty convenient

Apparently it never ends.
