I have the original bills of sale documenting the buying and selling of them. $800 for one of them. That's about $25,000 in today's money, which, if you consider how many slaves there were, shows how much money was tied up in slaves back then. Most of the wealth in the South was in the value of the slaves.

And before anyone asks, no, I do not feel responsible in any way for the actions of my ancestors. Nor am I ashamed of it. It's just interesting history.

But back to the original subject, it's true there are many black people descended from slave owners, and many white people descended from slaves.

Ya, but it’s only whites that are taught to hate themselves. Generations of white children are being taught that they are evil for simply having white skin. That [BLEEP] needs to stop
