^^The fact that blacks owned slaves does not negate the fact that the institution of slavery coalesced around issues of race. That's sort of a red herring argument.
The fact that there was legislation that limited perpetual slavery to those of African descent pretty much cememts the claim that race was central to the development of the institution.
Right, those history books that suggest that slavery was not at all about race do paint inaccurate pictures.
