Nice.

A lightly veiled racist post, as opposed to overt ones like the others in this thread.

Tell esrice I've reconsidered, and I'm out of here. Delete my account please.

If your done pouting, I would be curious to learn what you feel is wrong with the posts. If you have a viewpoint based on something other than a fleeting glance and perceived injustice, I would be willing to hear it. Taking your ball and going home does not advance your position.... defend it and we may find middle ground, otherwise your premise is built on shifting sand

I did not hear the source of the descended from slaves information, but I am sure that the bammer's militant wife will use it to advance any items on her personal agenda. She has probably used the "pity me" and "you owe me" tactics all of her life to get into the better schools and even to get her pretigious $300K+/yr position at the hospital where she work that, to my knowledge, has yet to be filled since her departure. Slavery was a terrible thing. However, I have never owned any slaves and have been told that none of my ancestors ever owned any slaves as most were sharecroppers and factory workers. One part of my ancestry was probably even tossed out of Germany in the early 18th century for being undesirable for some reason. Do any of you feel sorry for me or feel like you owe me somenting? I sincerely hope not.

Did anyone read the article? There was a whole lot of weirdness in there. The genealogist having Michelle's ancestors come to her in a dream and telling her which way to go. Wacko stuff, printed uncritically by the NYT. And the "Indian Blood" thing is questionable too. A PBS series, African America Lives, hosted by Professor Gates (of "the police acted stupidly" fame) found that assertion to be almost uniformly spurious through genetic testing, though there was a lot of Caucasian mixing. The NYT questioned none of it. The NYT has become the National Enquirer.
