Senator, I don't think that's quite right. If Whites were slaves, I doubt your ancestors would have fought on the same side as the slaveowners. They had the right idea about freedom. They just didn't carry it far enough.
" If Whites were slaves, I doubt your ancestors would have fought on the same side as the slaveowners."
I really do think that something more than just a quick, PC perusal of American history would be in order, prior to making such sweeping statements. IF whites were slaves? You do mean "when," don't you? Look into the Palatinate of Maryland, and the various Puritan incursions into that "colony." And, once you have, tell me about the behavior of indentured servants at that time, and for whom they fought. It wasn't for the Puritan outsiders, that's for sure.
