Well All Be dammed. Here I thought, it was just evil white people who owned slaves in America. Turns out one of the first actual LEGAL (by court order) slave owner was black.

Lol but it says American Indians owned black slaves. Whaaat? We're supposed to hold them as reverent. Surely they bought them and immediately freed them.

Also how is one a "native" if their ancestors came here via the 8ering Strait? Shaman magic?

Indeed, and it would be the epitome of sadness if a place like the UN told up to pay reparations for it.

Nobody could do that without being an imbecile, agreed?

I would try to, but 65 million Americans won't shut up about it, I have to keep bringing facts forward.

^I know you're joking Jaden but there are people out there who literally think like that. There are individuals alive TODAY who one generation over had slave ancestors. One generation! That's ****ed! And there are people alive today who would have been lynched if they stared a white woman too long! And a shit load of people would have a cheered and another shit load would have been like...."Damn that's horrible...but you know, they have no business mingling with us" and they would have been accused of being too soft.

------

What is the purpose of this thread?

Are you pointing out that North American/Europeans were not the only people to own slaves? Of course, where there is civilization, there is some form of slavery.

But are you suggesting -through this post- that the criticism levelled against the "white male" are somewhat unfair? Because you posted 9 facts (Which I haven't fact checked) but if I was to list every crime committed by a "white scandanavian culture" against a person of colour, not only individually but the ramifications to them geographically/economically/spiritually etc. I could be here for weeks.

We're all white people pieces of evil shit? Of course not, that's ridiculous but less than 150 years ago it was considered to be a progressive idea that someone who was not white was above a dog. Not because they were a slave -Romans had slaves- but because they were inherently less than human because of their race. Entire fields were warped by confirmation bias among very educated men to prove this. It was such a fundamental believe that for it not to be true would be considered irrational. Let's take a random example: The romans had slaves too, but a roman was a roman not because of their skin colour (Of course there were racist ****s) but because you were an inferior people, conquered or barbaric and useles not because you were inherently less than human. Do you understand that distinction? And why it's been so damaging to African Americans? The entire foundation and political system for your country was laid out under the assumption that the white man was superior. It'll take another 200 years until those biases are dealt with.

"The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves."

Yes, less than 150 years ago that happened. And now currently blacks are 13% of the population and responsible for over 50% of the murders, per FBI statistics.

Funny thing is, I don't see liberals are blacks in arms about the fact that right now in 2017, blacks still owns other blacks as slave in Africa, and the Middle East owning black slaves.

Most people that open their mouths cares little about slavery.

Estimates of the number of slaves today range from around_21 million-29 million to 46 million. Modern slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry with estimates of up to $35 billion generated annually. The United Nations estimates that roughly 27 to 30 million individuals are currently caught in the slave trade industry."

That's a deflection. I am aware that there's a lot of black slave owners, and those people should be equally condemned for their actions. However, you made this thread to b!tch and moan at people condeming the white slave owners, so that's what I'm focusing on here.

You wanna discuss current events about blacks owning slaves? Make a thread and we'll complain about it there. thumb up

Actually that's not why I made the thread. Read the op and shove the "vast majority of Americans were slave owners" back up your asssmile

I read it; it was making fun of the fact that the whites get primarily blamed for the slavery from way back when.

Nope. That is FALSE History. In Aisa and Africa ALONE the amounts of Non White Slave Owners DWARF any numbers you can find for the Divided U.S at this time.

Also, the motivation behind owning slaves is important. One of the primary reasons in the US was racism, which is deplorable.

That's usually because people give focus primarily to this with regards to the topic of slavery on both the Left and the Right, which I find unfortunate. This thread was created with the intention to prove #NotAllWhites which anyone who isn't an extremist leftist/SJW already knows.

The beauty of the left vs right narrative, is it essentially pits victims against victims.

By that, I mean poor black people against poor white people.

What does any of that have to do with the topic of slavery? Because black people have a higher chance of being conviced (Not committing, because let's be honest, in the U.S being a POC is a crime in itself in some places. Look at Missouri) with a violent crime...this somehow justifies slavery...or? Like what exactly is your point aside from chiming in with a statistic?

If you want to discuss the criminal and socio-economic effects of slavery on the black population, that is fine but that is a separate discussion and your post is rather accusatory. Almost like "blacks" = bad. Nor does it account for the fact that a POC is far more likely to be unjustly harassed by the police, have harsher penalties, more unlikely to find a secure job, and come for lower economic areas. There other more in depth statistics that try to adjust for this and shows that it's hardly as clear cut.

As late as the 1970's POC had a travel guide for the states circulating that told them where it was safe to eat, sleep, travel to etc. My mother was in elementary school at the time. That's insanely recent. The effects of that type of mentality will be felt for at least another century. And rightfully so. It's as if you think once Lincoln emancipated the slaves, everything became better or something...

Here's a literacy test given to potential black voters as late as the 1960s:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2013/06/28/ voting_rights_and_the_supreme_court_the_impossible
_literacy_test_louisiana.html

This is a local government blatantly trying to prevent people from exercising their fundamental right to vote. Your ass would fail that, anyone would. That was their definition of Grade 5 level comprehension. Shit was rough, I can go on for days, forget the public/private sector. I'd be here for weeks for every decade. We've had the Television for longer than people openly treated POC like they were less than a white person.

Who said it justifies slavery? Stop being silly. The actual point was people who didn't suffer from being enslaved should stop whining about shit that happened over a century ago and focus more on current issues facing the community(and hint: the biggest issue isn't police brutality)



It doesn't shock me that a group that commits more murder than any other group would die at the hands of cops more or be harassed by cops more.

Just like it doesn't shock me more of them are in jail for drug crimes even though whites use drugs at comparable rates: high crime neighborhoods get policed more.



And nobody said shit wasn't rough in the past. The rampant crime rate isn't excused by that though.

Excuse me? So because they weren't enslaved themselves, that means they cannot recognize the negative impacts the institutions established at a time when POC = animals can negatively impact them? You don't have much understanding of culture or how living conditions affect people into further generations eh? I hope you don't think reading and education is liberal nonsense: head down to your local community college and take a few anthropology and sociology courses.

It doesn't shock you that a group far more likely to be persecuted, policed, not be treated fairly and framed are more likely to be part of police statistics?

Here's a snapshot of what a little bit of job insecurity cause in the 1920s?



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_St._Louis_riots

They make BLM riots look like peace keepers. Now imagine two centuries of such instability and insecurity imposed on a culture.

My points are:
Black = Slaves because they were less than human
Slavery = benefited mostly white Scandanivians and the scary truth is that many of them did not want that benefit to eat
Slavery and racism = is still having huge negative repercussions on POC

Take a look at the Native Americans on reservations in the United States and Canada. Terrible conditions, some worse than third world countries with huge amounts of violence, crime and drug abuse. It's not rocket science, you can't decimate a people, tell them they're inferior and are less than human for a few hundred years and then expect recovery in less than 100 years because of somehalf-assed reperations were signed.

But lest we forget, there were black slave owners and that somehow changes something.

You do realize the north was primarily republicans and the south was southern democrats?

"The national union party was used as a temporary name for the Republican Party. Many Northern Democrats who opposed slavery joined a new party, the Republican Party which was forming around the cause for abolition.

Southern Democrats, however, supported slavery and threatened to leave the Union.

Although the Confederate States did not establish political parties, the Congress was still dominated by former Democrats politicians."

Democrats have always been the party of slavery and the KKK, and no amount of revisionist history, Al Shaprton, Jesse Jackson or Barack Obama will change it.

What the hell does the political history of the democrats and the republicans have to do with this thread or my post?

Are you posting in regards to my comment about liberals and education? Seriously, that's what you chose to focus on from my post? I was clearly referencing the new modern commentary about liberals/education.

The two major political parties of the United States have changed significantly from 100 years ago with the pendulum swinging back and forth: Abraham Lincoln was the first republican President of the United States. No one has ever said that all Republicans going back to the beginning of the country are bad and terrible racist slave owners or whatever strawman I foresee you defending.

Ftr: I haven't fact checked anything Sable said for those reading so don't assume me not contradicting anything is me agreeing with his points or considering them to be factual.

Sable
You are right the parties have changed the democrats went from a party of slavery and white supremacists to a party that has have driven wages down from illegal immigration, ruined cities like Chicago and Detroit. They have abandoned the working class to gain votes from minority groups(gays, muslims, blacks, hispanics), thinking they can get more votes then 70% of the country which is white.
