Nope. All of my peeps were Irish immigrants and injuns.

Doesn't matter though. I'm told that my evil racism is genetic. Just like Van Jones said, I have a "virus" in my head that makes me do racist stuff, whether or not I even realize it.

That's a fantastic manipulation tactic.

If you go back far enough, you absolutely have ties to slavery. You do know the Romans lived in Italy, right?

No need to make a case for generational innocence. Spike Lee is blood related to slave traders In South Carolina. Is he guilty?

America itself is a rejection of the concept of Collective Guilt anyway. Nobody alive today has ever met anybody who was ever involved in American slavery. Other than the informal common philosophical subjugation of the Democratic Party which has wrecked the black family as a matter of public policy.

It doesn't matter if my great, great, grandfather owned slaves.
I have never owned any. These fricking people need to let go of the past. Black people didn't get fricked over as much as the indians.

I unfortunately know for a fact one of my branches going back were slave owners during the Civil War. I’m not going to excuse their sins though, but I am also not accountable for them. If you go far enough back, we are all descendants of slave masters, slaves, murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. If I am to be judged for the sins of my ancestors, then we are all irredeemable.

I am a slave.

100% owned by several banks.
I work and work but they take most of my money.

The Romans were the biggest fricking slavers in world history, so there are basically no possibilities that your ancestors weren’t slavers.

I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that some of my stupid arse family were indeed white slaves or poorly treated sharecroppers.

One of my ancestors was burned at the stake as a protestant martyr in the 1500s, which I think literally makes me a victim.

The Vatican owes my arse some reparations. Or The British monarchy maybe.

Once again, I understand we all come from descendants of slaves/slave owners. I'm more specifically asking about the slave ownership in America.

Family came here in the mid-1600s. Settled in South Carolina and Virginia. They had some slaves, I’m not apologizing.
