Hi, I am actually white of Italian, Spanish, Irish, English, Scottish and French Canadian ancestry. I have always been interested in the etomology of names, especially in the United States.
I do a lot of genealogy, and much of my clientele is black, so I had to study up on surnames and if you read the issue of the National Genealogical Society Magazine about 1989 there is an article on Bill Cosby's roots and his owners were Virginian slaveowners named Cosby (or Causby).
By the way, Algore's ancestors were slaveowners and that was interesting considering he tried to paint Bush as a racist.

Well, some of my ancestors were slaveowners, so I can't fault Algore for having the ancestors he does. It's of no consequence, though, as I can certainly fault him for innumerable other things.
