He charged his master, Anthony Johnson, a free black, with having forced him to labor longer than the term of his indentureship. He won, was freed, and then indentured himself to one Robert Parker. But Johnson sued, and, on March 8, 1655, won Casor back - as a slave for life. The case established a civil ground for slavery, also enabling free blacks to own slaves. Even as late as the Civil War, the South harbored <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NDvhzFR9mjyHIHjuky2oBm0KP0AWEP7WaqOXx1yWQiI8JEE_pTK0qfyWKupMNpteZgtCJIEOL_873ORhja0txg-wQMB4hBusQYQAVSSvnTEzXz9flRWAU7ksFrUiaxXyHrLBfNPHHWBvmpN6Ai-ml_kEbsFceTHS9B8FiJII_2SRmI-qPfH-PvqFZuueph8pvmTZLj-XFGH8ThjalcSQ5Onn2uNPfI6-Q_BryPK519I=&c=k_JVkXTSCmzutKuJAD6fEUXJDXPPJZLh0k472FZRID0cO3uPL3qnoQ==&ch=QBwd7Kat0MnGeN79NPKZKHiNMPc-DBPznsiHPOl5fBAeGaNUoiJVZQ==> families of obvious African descent who themselves owned African-Americans as slaves. On the surface, American slavery wasn't about race.

If you exalt the notion that "all men are created equal," how do you square that with your slave-holding? By denigrating the humanity of blacks. This vile ugliness of racism is still with us, to some degree . . . and slavery, too - at least, in small pockets around the globe and in a much bigger way in the Muslim world. An estimated eleven million slaves are held in Africa and the Middle East. And black Africans <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NDvhzFR9mjyHIHjuky2oBm0KP0AWEP7WaqOXx1yWQiI8JEE_pTK0qfyWKupMNpteWkspdLC_BuYZK_L-LS2FOzlnVCBGTfFCzriTEgsRfztkUuWJq_JS0U15Z671avFFUhBFAm_NEJ_MfwYqAAyV20ItgtTDxrCeRi-1dQNVBB9BU47RQxC3lrgaQ59XDoRWqbMxA4V7F3X5936cUpVQP41_8I1KhWIReCUzRpwfrJkZio7NHsHpxbnOVAOHatYH&c=k_JVkXTSCmzutKuJAD6fEUXJDXPPJZLh0k472FZRID0cO3uPL3qnoQ==&ch=QBwd7Kat0MnGeN79NPKZKHiNMPc-DBPznsiHPOl5fBAeGaNUoiJVZQ==> are still the main victims.
