Thomas Sowell on Black History MYTHS Promoted by the Left

That isn't necessarily true because it's missing historical artifacts. "Racial superiority" doesn't account for the black slavers like "April", a slave name given to him for the month he was born, was not only a freed slave, educated by a white slave owner, but a plantation owner and breeder who sold mostly female slaves. He also owned one of the largest slave plantations in South Carolina.

William Ellison, the white slave owner. freed April at the age of 26 who then took the name William April Ellison. If a white slave owner believed he was superior, he wouldn't have educated young April allowing him to buy his own freedom. That doesn't sound like April, nor his slave owner had a Superior/Inferior relationship.

I, personally, have never considered myself or anyone else as superior to anyone and I am no one's inferior.

The miscegenation laws were often ignored. In Georgia there were many interracial marriages among the upper crust of society. The Dean of theMedical Of Georgia at one point was French ( his University colors are still in the graduation gown regalia ) came from New Orleans and was married to a Creole lady. At ne point a wealthy planter in South Georgia took up with a slave women. When he died he left his estate to her and freed her. She became one of the richest women in America. She moved to a fashionable Area of Augusta and was courted by many upper crust white people. The planters son’s sued to over turn the will but it stood. At the end of the civil war there were a lot of mixed marriages that produced some very talented people who became international celebrities . Many of the miscegenation laws were the results of repression of black voting power. Henry Gates PBS “ finding your roots” show featured an individual whose great great grand mother, who was black, lived with a white fellow who helped raise her children by another marriage. Life is always black and white. The information comes from books by Edward J Cashin who was a History Professor and wrote several books about the history of Augusta. The book the information came from is “Old Springfield, Race and Religion in Augusta Georgia”.
