More white Americans have a black slave ancestor than do black Americans.

Everybody who's ever looked into the questions knows that.

First of all, there are simply several times more white Americans than there are black Americans. Of those white Americans, a very large percentage find ancestors in the earliest populations. Outside of New England, it was quite normal for men and women to "marry" outside their own family backgrounds.

The current estimate is that over 50 million "white" Americans have a black slave ancestor.
