So then I had to look it up. I didn’t think Hicks sounded right. It’s Wanda Sykes - she actually half white and her white ancestor was beaten (lashed) for consorting with a negro slave - so it was the white side of her that was abused.

And she had 2 ancestors that were black that owned slaves, not just one.
