The reason why I am posting this is to show how the left digs their holes.
FACT: The first "LEGALLY OWNED BLACK SLAVE" was owned by Anthony Johnson who also was a black man...........

That was very common, but lets not get distracted from what is truly important here.

1) Hypocrisy never shames leftists.
2) Your fact doesn’t fit the agenda, so will be ignored.

In 1651 Anthony Johnson owned 250 acres, and the services of four white and one black indentured servants. I want reparations.

Anthony Johnson is not really a great example if you’re trying to make some sort of racial equality about slavery. Johnson himself (or, to be more precise, his heirs) lost all of his property because he was black. Upon his death, the state of Virginia seized his land, and a court stated that it could be seized because Johnson was a “negroe and by consequence an alien.”
To: blueyon
So I can extrapolate that all blacks are racist because of this, right?

Actually that does not require very much extrapolation. Racism seems to be in their DNA. Much more so than in Caucasians.

Did You Know the First Legal Slave Owner in America Was a Black Man? Actually I'm betting it was some Spanish guy in what is now Florida.

My mistake calling VA a state, for any number of reasons--the year in which the case took place and the fact that VA is a commonwealth, for starters. Was working on a motion in a criminal case in the other window, must have typed "the state" or some variation thereof 50 times in the past 10 minutes...

Something else that also gets overlooked is that warring tribes in Africa sold slaves to the traders. That is how the slave trade started. In some places, this is still going on, or so I’ve read.

" Racism seems to be in their [black people's] DNA. Much more so than in Caucasians." I disagree. It's not a DNA thing and you'll find it in all races in different times and places. Not every individual of course, but it's common across the centuries, the continents and the cultures.
It's something we more or less have in common.
