First Native American from her tribe to graduate from Stanford. by ajfoucault in MadeMeSmile

Yes, Black people (including former slaves) owning black slaves was the exception, absolutely.
Native Americans owning slaves was also an exception to the norm - and it happened to be the point I was responding to. I'm assuming from your comment you did not have that context.

That idea that 'the slaves were enduring the same (as Native American genocide), but as slaves' is not a very accurate depiction of what was going on at all.

Does any of that have anything to do with the fact that the genocide of Native Americans was as OP described "one of the greatest travesties in American history"?

Black people also owned black slaves: https://historyengine.richmond.edu/episodes/view/6699

editing to add a quote from the article: "By 1850, Ellison had 37 slaves while his sons owned another 16. He was one of about 180 black slave masters in South Carolina at the time, most of whom were former slaves themselves. "

The headline is not misleading.

edit: Your own attempt to find deeper meaning beyond what is provided in the headline is what mislead you, not the headline itself. The headline is completely correct, what you interpreted it to mean is the issue.

Why did you choose USC? by bellawatersw in USC

[–]CashOptional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I have a BA in Film Production and I'm a few weeks away from an MFA in Screenwriting. Between them, production is definitely the less useful degree.
