In addition to having ancestors who were slaves, the author likely has ancestors on the other side of slavery, capturing and selling Africans to be sold into slavery around the world.
I certainly won’t say her slave ancestor was lucky to be sold to the west, but had he been sold into Arab/Muslim slavery, he might have been castrated. And if not, highly unlikely he would have been allowed to breed, as slavery wasn’t inherited by children in the Arab world. She probably wouldn’t exist.
Most Black people in the US who have been here for generations have some Caucasian blood. I’m sure not all of them were ‘forced’ into interbreeding.
Are their White parts going to have to pay their Black parts?
The whole reparations thing is ridiculous.
