Someone needs to tell Ms. Williamson:

According to historian R. Halliburton Jr.: There were approximately 319,599 free blacks in the United States in 1830. Approximately 13.7 per cent of the total black population was free. A significant number of these free blacks were the owners of slaves. The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free NEGROES WHO OWNED A TOTAL OF 12,760 SLAVES.

None of my ancestors owned slaves. I never owned slaves of any color.

There are blacks in this country whose ancestors owned slaves. Get them to perpetually apologize forever.
