Henry Louis Gates Jr On Blacks Owning Slaves

Not a quote, an actual video. I like Henry Louis Gates Jr for his honesty and his impish humor the TV show, Finding Your Roots.

You may or may not appreciate Thomas Sowell, but in this clip Gates does the real talking:






JIC, this is not ment to sugar coat or endorse slavery in any way, period.

Don’t care for many of his guests, but he does a really great job with that show.

It seems I am 1.4% black according to 23 and Me... can I say ****?

I mean... I'm black, so it should be okay. 🇨🇮

Regardless, you can say anything you want. 😇

Agree! Too many politicians or actors, however, the revelation of slave ownership by Wanda Sykes ancestors was priceless. The smirk on Gate's face when he told her was awesome, yeah, who is the funny one now?

---

Yeah shes is one that bothers me because she has a little talent but chooses to avoid using it….

Blacks Owning Slaves?
That's not what they taught in government schools. 😰
I thought teaching real history was banned.

I wonder if MACS black ancestors were slaves or slave owners?? :-s
