American Indians owned slaves also.
Every stone of the pyramids were placed by slaves - owned by Egyptian-Africans
Has there been any historical culture that hasnt had a history with slavery?
Maybe the buddhists? .....
It's hard to imagine this pervasive human consciousness throughout history that felt the need to enslave other humans.
You are seriously just learning about this? My God, does anyone get a decent history education in the U.S. anymore?
Well yes, bless your heart. I tend to forget random factoids that have no bearing on what I do,who I deal with or that I really give a cr@p about so before I say something I LOOK UP what I have a slight memory of to verify it's actual existence unlike "some" who just spew or recite the latest echo chamber song.
Sorry if I don't dwell in the house of "who's done my far flung ancient ancestors wrong" on a daily basis...

Which were mostly/all Jews! I WANT REPARATIONS! I WANT THOSE PYRAMIDS TORN DOWN right NOW!
Wonder how far that'll go?
Did they own any white slaves? White supremacy allowed for blacks to oppress blacks, blacks to kill blacks, blacks to disrespect blacks....etc. They just did not allow blacks to do those things to whites. Any blacks that oppressed blacks, was still looked at as below and inferior to whites. In other words, blacks were used as tools....too...to promote white supremacy.
Well said. The thread should have ended right here.
I did a quick search, just wondering if there were any Black slave owners or overseers and was suprised to find that evidently and shockingly there was a significant amount of Black slave owners back in the 1800's.
I wonder what BLM/Anti-Faaaa and the Left would do with this if it was actually reported?
Actually, I have been aware of this odd fact for many years. I never checked to make sure it is actually true, probably because it is a curiosity but in no other way relevant.
Multiculturalism and diversity is a failure, always was and always will be.
Of course I blame the long gone people prior to the 1820s that brought slaves here to undercut white labor and ignored the perils of multiculturalism, just as I blame those who promote even more multiculturalism today.
Yes, it is a shame that people can't get along in spite of their differences. Perhaps you can move to a less diverse place and enjoy the benefits of that society.
The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported to the New World, mainly on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were Africans from the central and western parts of Africa who had been sold by other West Africans.
Yeah, I'm quite aware of that.
What would we your point and what does that have to do with what happened to slaves here in America?
If we had a completely no multi-racial/multicultural policy from the start, then there would've been no slavery, no confederacy, no civil War, no racism, no "Jim crow" etc.
Multiculturalism is a dismal failure. It will never lead to harmony and unity.
Not my problem. I'm enjoying my life.
Leave if you don't like it. I have no other advice to offer you.

I'm not the one considered diversity in America so the diversity can move if they don't like white America. My ancestry was here before the Revolution, the Constitution and let alone the 1965 Immigration Act, so they'll all go before people like me do.
