Haha! Me either. I, nor none of my ancestors, had a thing to do with slavery. In fact, since most of them came over from England, there may have been a couple of indentured servants in there. Have never been able to trace any wealth of any kind through the tree. They all looked poor as dirt.
Obama can kiss my behind.
Some of my ancestors had a handful of slaves who had worked along side them on the family farm for many years and everyone ate the same beans day in and day out. My great grandmother relayed family stories from her grandparents that the best thing about the CW was that they didn’t have to take care of the slaves anymore. It was a relief because they were too much of a burden and had to be cared for like children. Nothing has changed today in that regard.
In my previous post, my poor dirt farmer ancestors had a few slaves who had been with them for many years. I have pictures of the family’s small old wooden houses and mud huts built into the side of a hill (can’t think what the mud huts are called). Times were hard back then for most people no matter what their skin color.
Prez NeverWasASlave conveniently forgets that blacks owned slaves. He also neglects to say that Africans sold their cousins and conquered tribes into slavery. No, can’t remind the EBT crowd about that. Too bad records weren’t kept that might show his supposed daddy’s ancestors selling his countrymen onto slave ships.
