Which literally no one asked you to do but why single out Southerners? Unless you have a shocking lack of historical knowledge, or just some good old fashioned cultural stereotypes that you can’t keep hidden.

Look into the southern diaspora.
The White portion of the Diaspora was mostly poor folks from Appalachia, so they did not spread much slaveholding ancestry in the North. Also, it was mainly during the Dust Bowl, so there have been fewer generations to spread that ancestry.

Much of the Southern white population was back-filled by the 20 million European immigrants (mainly Italians and Jews in search of farm work) that arrived after slavery was abolished.
Who married native Southerners and whose children thus had slave-owning ancestors.

My own ancestry is not atypical. Pure Southron until the War, a bit more than half of whom were slave owners. We have added Czech, Irish and German lines who immigrated after the War and who obviously owned no slaves. The addition of their genetics does not change the remainder of my Southron ancestry.

You are just making this shite up.

You can’t prove any of it, yet you are too proud and stupid to let it go.

What if one side of my ancestors owned slaves and the other side were slaves?

Do I owe myself?
I do not know or care. For the umpteenth time, I do not support reparations, and (if they happen in some form) no one will be writing checks to any individual.

I would be quite surprised if the same is not true of 90% of Southerners.


This is a meaningless statistic. You can also claim that 90% of Southerners are descendants of abolitionists. Or 90% of Northerners are descendants of slave owners. Or 90% of blacks are descendants of slave owners. Pick any category of ______ are descendants of _____ and genealogy will do the work for you as generational trees expand. It's also not surprising that Kamala's family has ties to slavery as the vast majority of slaves in the Atlantic slave trade went to the Caribbean and Brazil and not America.

Because I was responding to assertions BY “White Southerners” that they have no slave-owning ancestors. I would have responded quite differently to a White man from Maine who made the same assertion. Due to the Diaspora, etcetera, he does have a SLIGHT chance of slave-owning ancestry. For a native Southerner, it is a near-certainty.

Good for you. Who did he marry? Who did his children marry? Who did YOU marry? Because if ANY of them married a native Southerner their offspring would have slave owners in the family tree.

This is not complex. It is almost as if you folks are afraid to accept simple facts.

Many of my ancestors owned slaves. That does not mean that I owe reparations to anyone ... not least because most of them lost everything to the Southern cause and were dirt-poor by 1870.

Which is exactly the first point I raised in this thread.

On this Planet many more Black humans have enslaved Black humans that White humans. So there’s that.


There were also more white slaves in North Africa than black slaves in America.

Well, you're not wrong. People want to get bent out of shape and claim "my family didn't own no slaves." Newsflash, if your family has deep roots in southern slave states, you probably do have slave owners in your family tree. It's simply American history, not a current day judgement. Ultimately, who gives a shite? People need to stop carrying dead people's baggage.

Put that in your handy dandy race calculator.


Right? If my folks got here in the early 1900s then I'm clear

Impossible. Hank's made up numbers would crumble if migration was allowed after the civil war.

No, it does not. It was a simplified model, designed for a few paragraphs. Accounting specifically for those factors would increase the analysis to chapters rather than sentences, and MIGHT change the probability from 1/100,000 to 1/10,000.
Nope.
