I have a cousin who was a slave. Several other cousins, who have passed away in recent years were once slaves.......of the Third Reich. These were not slaves in my great-great-great grandparents’ generation. They were slaves in my parents’ generation.

“The Winds of War” and “Holocaust” mean more to me than “Roots.” Although I admit to being angry at the enslavement of human beings that I saw when I watched “Roots” back in the 1970’s when it was first broadcast.

Most European Americans are descendants of slaves, be it the Romans, the Kaisers, the Tsars, the Kings of the multitude of countries, or of the Muslim invaders. Why do you think that our ancestors beat feet to America at the first opportunity? They knew it could happen again.

Black slavery in America isn’t even the most recent incidence of slavery. Slavery still exists in many areas of the middle East and Africa and also was part of the NAZI and Japanese plans for Europe the Far East and the World.

Barack Obama may be one of the few present day Americans to not have had a slave ancestor.
