Yup. Included that: Sam Whipback turns out to be a black slaveowner who is suing.
In fact, Nate over at BSNN wanted to have Sam Whipback suing on both sides of this issue, both as a slaveowner who was denied his property, and as a former slave -- suing on both sides of the Reparations issue. It started out as a good concept, but when he began working in the Thomas Jefferson angle, the whole thing got muddled and my original joke got obscured.
