If I remember correctly, George Buchners 19th Century play, Dantons Death, actually opened The Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College.
Though my memories are now understandably vague, I was actually in that production. Why my amnesia is understandable would necessitate a whole other article.
However, I played Camille Desmoulins in Dantons Death, one of the Orphans of the Storm, so to speak.
I saw that classic silent movie, D. W. Griffiths Orphans of the Storm, last night.
Many Orphans of that nightmare were former French Revolutionaries whom Maximilien Robespierre suddenly found unacceptable to him and his idea of Public Safety.
Robespierre had a few of his former friends and colleagues guillotined a decisively longer-term version of being thrown under the bus. Among the victims of Robespierre was The much-loved George Danton.
Danton was, I suppose, the Humanist among a rather savage pack of what I now call Revolutionary Reparationists.
With the New Black Panthers now hitting the headlines, the word reparations is all over the news and the networks.
There have been, for quite some time, Revolutionary Humanists like Danton all over New York City and much of the East Coast.
There are now very bold and unapologetic Revolutionary Reparationists.
The Revolutionary Humanists and the Revolutionary Reparationists are both an indispensable part of the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.
The obvious loyalty which our President and his First Lady receive from the New Black Panthers is clearly based on the strongly communicated sense that both President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder believe that because of slavery, some form of reparations are due to the African American community.
Obama/Holder Reparations would certainly include the tacit acquittal of Black Panthers who shamelessly chose to intimidate white voters at the voting centers.(continued)

Obama is not the descendant of a slave. But Clarence Thomas is. Go figure.
>Obama is not the descendant of a slave.<
Obama’s European ancestry most likely has some individual or individuals who were held in some sort of slavery, so your statement may not be correct.
Of course, you could have said, “Obama is not the descendant of an American slave”.
