Alex also discovered her four-times-great-grandfather had two children with one of the women he owned, Eleanor Frances Henry.... I don’t think that stories are told a lot about black people owning slaves.....“People hide their past because maybe they see it as something that people will frown upon if they tell true stories.“But I will never be ashamed of my history because it’s made me the person I am today,” she explained.--- Of course you don't hear a lot about Blacks owning blacks, for the same reason she feels she shouldn't be ashamed of her history but Whites should be. This is about an agenda pushing Whites as evil and the other races as some sinless saints. She should be thankful Africans were largely illiterate/had little civilization and she can't trace back into the more ancient past and see just how many of her ancestors were slaves and enslaved people. history didn't start when Blacks and whites first interacted, Blacks have been enslaving each other for heaven knows how long, and being enslaved by the "arabs" too. It's only when she can grift something out of Whites as a "victim" that this type cares.
A very basic look at the history of the world will show that slavery was quite common across all races and that land conquest was very common as well. Like you said the goal is to endlessly talk about whites so this is never widely taught.
Slavery, genocide, environmental destruction, even valuing light skin and other "western beauty standards". The myth of the noble savage I fear will never die. It's not taught and books on the subject are getting harder and harder to come by. A shame, because it's actually really fascinating to see how various ancient people lived...
