Have You Checked Your Family Tree for Slave Masters?
Seriously?

I've seen some Americans on this site griping about how they didn't contribute to slavery because their ancestors didn't own slaves.

But have you actually checked your family tree? I ask this because many people I have randomly asked have never even seen their family tree.

There have been some notable people over the years who have come to realize the sad truth that their ancestors did own slaves. For instance, Ben Afleck. Yep, the guy who used to date J-Lo aka Jenny from the Bronx is descended from a "Massa". Pretty messed up!

While American Express asks consumers, "what's in your wallet?", I ask you, "who was in your family tree?".

Re: Have You Checked Your Family Tree for Slave Masters?
The word 'slave' actually comes from 'Slav' i.e. white person.

The Tsars of Russia absorbed Khazaria because of their practice of kidnapping and selling their Slavic neighbours and selling them into slavery.

According to Jewish historian and scholar Arthur Koestler in his book The Thirteenth Tribe, Khazarians dispersed throughout Eastern Europe and became known as Ashkenazi Jews.

My Sephardic Jewish ancestors from Portugal were involved in the African slave trade big time.

Re: Have You Checked Your Family Tree for Slave Masters?
My family owned slaves outside of New Orleans from the early 1700s until the end of the civil war. At one point my family owned over 200. Once I met a black woman who had my last name. My last name is very rare and doesn't even exist in most States. I knew her ancestors came from my ancestors' plantation.

Do I feel guilty? Fuck no.

Re: Have You Checked Your Family Tree for Slave Masters?
One, a tobacco plantation owner from Kentucky.

He was well loved by them. When he released them, only two actually left.

When he closed the plantation and left, two nine year old girls loved him so much, they went with him.

In old pictures in our family, they were referred to as Aunt Mable and Aunt Fanny. They were always on the porch in rocking chairs.

Their families and our are still close.

My mother lives on the same hill with some of their descendants and they look out for each other.

They are still family and we see them at holidays.

Good people. Salt of the Earth.

Op you must be a bot or troll or maybe both. You don't actually reply to legitimate responses and wuestions. You are actually just creating negativity and trolling. Multiple posters have put good logic against your stupidity but you just respond with Oooo I exposed you your a racist by underlining a word that doesn't even mean someone is being racist and without any background knowledge how can you even make these comments ? Just curious if your real, because you seem to not be. Or maybe your a young kid and still have a lot of learning to do? One bit of advise, you have to take what people say seriously if you want to have a discussion, otherwise I'd suggest talking to yourself.

Yes, none in the America's, however in ancient history trace any linage and you will find that your ancestors went from Slave to Master over and over throughout time.

The only living people as a whole who still have slaves, and defend their right to, are Muslims and Africans who actively have and are acquiring; daily more and more slaves.

Just the facts folks. Just the facts.
Just because YOU don’t believe
in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No !

The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine

The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short!

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2
