I think I would have to go back to the 11th century to find any of my ancestors who owned any slaves.

Since I claim Viking blood it's a fair bet they had a few odd slaves now and again. Then again I'd bet most of those slaves would have been from England, Ireland, or mainland Europe.

Not too many Africans would have faired so well in the great cold north.

A fair bet since the word 'slave' comes from the word "Slav" or those of Slovak or Slovenian heritage.

I don't have a link handy, but Thomas Sowell has written a book about the history of slavery in and outside of America. I'm sure the word is translated differently from other older cultures, but the specific word slave comes from the Slavish people according to Sowell. He was talking about it on one of the occaisions when Walter Williams subbed for Rush and had Sowell as a guest.

It is just the libs generating more "VICTIMS" -- libs need victims for whom they lyingly stand up for. Been their modus operandi for far too many decades. Just another way to get the sleaze vote they are so dependent upon -- if the libs did not NEED the black vote, they could care less about "reparations" -- just another way to force the taxpayer to buy votes for them.
