Well, I’m disqualified from this thread because I had a
peanut butter, banana & honey on toast this morning. (A
black guy making an effort formulated a lot of stuff with
peanuts.) - Anyway, my great great grandfather fought as a
Rebel at Shiloh; told my grandmother when she asked that
Shiloh was, “Lord, Lord, Izora, Shiloh was the biggest
mess I’ve ever seen in my life, so much confusion I
couldn’t tell if I killed anybody or not - but can’t see
how I could have kept from it!” - He was a Southern farmer,
dirt poor, fighting Yankees because ya’ll were down here!

I did have one fifth or sixth great grandfather who kept a
few slaves down in Georgia Territory back in the 1700’s.
His son married a Cherokee woman, his mother had a
case of conniption vapors and he & his wife departed on
a barge going up the TN River (after his daddy gave him
his inheritance in gold), disembarked at Perryville, TN,
and that’s how I ended up in Tennessee with my name
besmirched eternally for having Indian blood AND having
ancestors who kept slaves.

Maybe it should be the other way around, y’all have not had a white idiot president in some time now.
