I didn't claim that because there are no movies or books about a historical
situation, that it didn't happen. There are billions of historical events
that never make it to screen or paper. But they happened. They just were
insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

But really, there were somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 million slaves in
the US. Out of all the books and movies made, and out of all the programing
on the history channel, you think there'd be one story of the millions that
opted to - of all things - become slave owners themselves.

LMAO - narry one quote that supports your lame "fact" that slaves wanted to
be slave owners.




> I've already posted it, as you know.


What you posted does not support your claim of "fact".




You're a loser. Folks here know it.
