Is this true? Black slave masters

Not long until Seedy's sugar jag wears off.

He got into a Patti LaBelle Peach cobbler.

I'll be rolling out the 2017 Toyota Ambien in about an hour or two, yeah.

It is just a curious fact of life that no liberal ever heard about. And I wonder why.

It's not that unknown; they even did an episode of A Different World on the subject.  Whitley discovers her black ancestors owned slaves and feels so ashamed that she her life slides into a downward cycle of self-destructive behavior culminating in her marriage to Dwayne.  Just kidding, she got over it by the end of the episode; and why she started dating Dwayne still remains one of television's greatest mysteries.

Those glasses got Dwayne plenty of tail.

Not everybody could wear a high fade cut like that, either.  I know I couldn't.

I called it.

I was taught that blacks owned, and still own, slaves in both High School and College. Very Liberal professors seemed very aware of it and every history I have read on the subject mentions this. So how it is outside the "general narrative" or something no Liberal knows is beyond me.

Well actually it is clear to me. It is essential to create this lie in order to advance conspiracy theories as facts and discredit historians.

  Okay Valmy.

  Okay Valmy.

Why is that funny? Seems pretty on the money.

I care about history. Making up lies about how slavery is presented in history does not amuse me. I challenge you to find ONE historical study on the subject that supports your supposed "general narrative". Hell find me a High School textbook.

Seems an odd thing to teach in high school. I was never taught it.  It really isn't historically significant and there are many more important things to cover in limited time/space.  Which is why I said it was a quirk.  You guys read way too much into things sometimes.

In high school grade 10 I took an optional course in US history.  Pretty sure that "blacks also owned slaves" wasn't mentioned - thee's only so much nuance you can fit into a one term class for 16 year olds.

Mind you as an adult with a history obsession I certainly knew that fact.  But I wouldn't be shocked if someone didn't.

We never learnt in high school that black americans had black slaves

TBH, we never learnt in school either that there were slaves in New France.  So I guess we fit that liberal narrative here about slavery.

it's also a little different for us, Canadians, than Americans.  Slavery was never as widespread as in the Southern US, and we never were a central place for slave trade.  Cotton and tobacco didn't grew that well here, and regular farms didn't require as much workforce as the american&carribean plantations.  Besides, the British needed fighting men to repulse any potential american attack, so having freed men who could join the militia was much more useful than slaves.
