This is idiotic on too many levels to count. Slavery was an institute in America before the USA even existed. And it certainly wasn't a black man owning the first slaves there. It was all kinds of people, ranging from the Spanish, the british, maybe the Dutch, but I'm not sure if they even had slaves.
It's also idiotic because it's the one off example. The one that stands out in the army of white slave owners - stands out in the way that if someone wants to make a point of tu quoque can resort to that example being made available by who knows who.

Here's a novel idea rather than argue emotion try and check a fact or two every once and a while...
The fact that you or anyone else does not know the first slave owner in North America was black or that Actual Africans/black people were the primary people who traded in African slave, only further underscores the level of the white guilt movement you have bought into. What we understand of slavery and what was actually practiced in this country as slavery has been so twisted most of you would not and by example of your post can not even recognize the truth when you see it.
Your understanding of Slavery in america is on Par with the average fighting age german's understanding of a jew in Nazi Germany.
Don't get me wrong we did a alot of bad crap to Africans, but alot of good came out of this as well, and without the slaves or for the slaves without America neither would exist. Meaning the descendants of slaves would not exist nor would this country.
