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.” I don't have time to gather citations right now, but I believe it is axiomatic that all races have been enslaved at some point in history. So as bad as slavery is, no race can claim unique suffering. At most, American blacks can claim the most recent suffering, Anthony Johnson notwithstanding. To lay this degree of mortal blame at the feet of a single nation for a global practice that long preceded it is sophistry for some other purpose.

The first guy to own a slave in Africa was also black.

Yes, he is. He started it all in 1655. Slavery was outlawed prior to his demand to enslave a fellow African.

His was the first (civil) judicial decision affirming the right to own a slave (there had been previous criminal cases where defendants had been sentenced to slavery), but it is simply not the case that slavery was "outlawed" prior to his case.

“That’s nonsense”
Well that settles that. Can’t argue with stupid and arrogant.

Way to ignore the rest of the post. Probably because you couldn’t argue with facts, either. Anything to back up your claim that slavery was outlawed before this guy?
