Interesting subject on Glen Beck the other day about how a Black Man Anthony Johnson was the first person in America to own another man as a Slave for life John Casor who was also a Black Man.

Guess it is all good and fine if a Black man owns a Black man but let a white man do it and everything hits the fan. Kind of like using the N word eh!

I guess his descendants will have to be the first to pay reparations, if that ever happens.

while I didn't see this on TV, it is an interesting story..
Slavery was officially established in Virginia in 1654, when Anthony Johnson, a black man, convinced a court that his servant (also black) John Casor was his for life. Johnson himself had been brought to Virginia some years earlier as an indentured servant (a person who must work to repay a debt, or on contract for so many years in exchange for food and shelter) but he saved enough money to buy out the remainder of his contract and that of his wife. The court ruled in Johnson’s favor, and the very first officially state-recognized slave existed in Virginia. Johnson eventually became very wealthy and began importing his own black slaves from Africa.

Sustaining the claim of Anthony Johnson to the perpetual service of John Casor the court gave judicial sanction to the right of Negroes to own slaves of their own race. Indeed no earlier record, to our knowledge, has been found of judicial support given to slavery in Virginia except as a punishment for crime. The defendant, John Casor, thus became the first individual known to be declared a slave in what later became the United States. [3]

In 1665 Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary, his son John and his wife Susanna, and their slave John Casor moved to Somerset County, Maryland. Casor remained Johnson's slave for the rest of his life

I guess they forgot to teach this in History classes...

While this is interesting, it's not too far off what still goes on today.

Think of how the black elites take advantage of their own.

I did notice that the writer of the piece that Steve posted tried to sugar coat it a bit.

a person who must work to repay a debt, or on contract for so many years in exchange for food and shelter

This still goes on with illegal workers, from other Countries.
