They are very nice people. Would still like to get the record straight. A former indentured servant, Anthony Johnson, was the first slave owner. Remember that indentured servants were predominantly from the Barbary Coast (white) and Africa (black). Johnson was black. It took the north 10 years to make slavery illegal. When a white Republican freed the slaves, thousands of black families owned slaves and the Native Americans owned tens of thousands of slaves. Has always been my policy to hire the best and the brightest regardless of *** or race. Let's teach history.
