She seems to have completely forgotten that Africans had a massive slave industry owning other Africans for millennia.
And in the US's case - the first slave in the US was owned by a black man. We know this because he challenged in court to change the law to keep the guy enslaved.
To be fair the 1776 project is more about the good and bad and not just saying everything is racist. But I get your point. If I was in charge I’d require students to learn about slavery all over the world.

Idiot. The first slave was not owned by a black man, the first court case about keeping a man enslaved was brought by a black man. That black man was not the first person lined up to purchase his slave, and there's nothing to support your claim. Get your facts straight, you were so fucking close but ultimately wrong.

Stop spreading inconvenient history. Seriously though you make a great point as to why we need to teach slavery from a global perspective
