I hope that the UDC doesn't accept the offer!!! It is the North and their idiots like Dr. Hamilton who are still fighting the war. This guy probably believes that the Emancipation Proclamation and the War ended slavery in Delaware and Maryland... Political correctness has such a damn grip on people that it's hard to fathom.

Duplicate of story two postings down.

Sorry the price is in excess of 700,000 not 50k.

He got so much from the school, but didn't learn his history.

He probably offered 50k knowing they would not take it.
Makes him look big in the eyes of his liberal friends.

Thanks, but I have not put nearly the effort into it that you have.
Look for more quotes from Sam in the future-Company Ayche is my favorite book.

Ingrates...he wouldn't be a black American doctor if not for the slave trade.

How do you know that ? Have you invented time travel and gone back in time, abolished slavery and saw what happened and changed it back ? Have you traveled to parallel earth's where slavery never was and saw that this guy would not be an American doctor ?

What the hell do you know about it. If UDC wants to sell the naming rights, let them. Are you connected with UDC ?

I did say that with tounge in cheek. But the opportunities for slaves brought to America are so much more than for those sold in other 3rd world Countries.
