“My ancestors were too damn poor to own slaves.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Mine too, in fact MOST people in the South were too poor to own slaves. We all have suffered because a very small percentage of people in the South owned slaves, there were slave owners in Northern states too but that is almost never acknowledged now just as the fact that there were black slaveowners is almost never acknowledged.
Will Chris Rock acknowledge that Africa’s “slave-catchers” were all black men of the same ilk as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?
No?
The exploitation of blacks BY BLACKS has a long, sordid history that continues in Africa to this very day.
