[quote:Anonymous Coward 10166682:MV8xOTQxMjM0XzMyNTE5NzM3XzYzRjk4NUJF] Another interesting article The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=listByAuthor&authorFirst=John&authorName=Martin [/quote]
Original Message
The surprising connection goes all the way back to the earliest days of colonial America...
He says the president's white mother is a direct descendant of the first known slave in the American colonies through a family by the name of Bunch.
"We found that, through DNA testing done by members of the Bunch family, that their direct ancestors are of sub-Saharan African origin. ... Eventually, we were able to make a connection with the earliest Bunch family members and a gentleman by the name of John Punch," Shumway notes.
In 1640, John Punch, an African, was a servant in Virginia who escaped, was caught and sentenced to remain in bondage to his master for life.

I didn't know about the white slavery until the last 6 months. This is an interesting article-
