My Granddaddy WAS a sharecropper cotton farmer. My dad picked cotton by hand.
Yes, we are White, of English/Scottish descent.
I picked cotton until I was eighteen and could join the Navy!
I planted and raised it on my father’s farm and walked behind a plow from the time I was ten years old. Who do I go to for my “reparations”? By the way, I am as white as one can be without being an actual albino. I am in an area with a high black population but have never met a black person who shares my surname, even though I grew up in a county with the highest number of people who share that name of any county in the entire USA. That can mean only one thing, my ancestors NEVER owned slaves.
