didn't know....
Folks with white skin have received preferental treatment since the beginning of this country. Only Africans dragged to this country were forcibly kept as chattel slaves. If you have some white ancestors who lived in this country under those conditions, please enlighten......

Meta;
Some of my ancestors were indentured servants. I think that is as close as I can come to being a slave. At least after 45 years doing genealogy I have never found any evidence of any of my ancestors owning slaves.

Phy,
You seem knowledgeable enough to know that indentured servitude is not anything near chattel slavery.
It's like comparing a night in the pokey to 15-20 in the federal pen.

Metsky,
Africans in West Africa, rounded their own people up, and sold them to the white man or the Arabs.
Would you care to elaborate...- 1 Reply to pershing832003

another myth perpetrated by whites to prove a nonexistent point (i.e. "barbershop" history)...arabs(who for centuries tried to inade many parts of africa and failed because of their ineptitude) and jews finally gained a foothold in northern Africa and spread to the central, south and western areas of the continent where they, at gunpoint, forced africans to travel (with amny dying en route) to ports where they were shipped to north and south america and the carribban.

didn't any relatives live here then, but have heard stories from oldies in the family of many jobs and work places that were not open to irish or germans....the sign "Irish or German need not apply" was found throught the country in the early 1900's. we all face descrimination at one time in our lives or another, its just getting a little old hearing the same old people gripe about it year after year, decade after decade....get over it move on, do something for yourself. if the company that you want to work for won't hire you because they are "racist" start your own company and beat them at their own game...
remember winning isn't everything, its the only thing
thanks -
