The White House is some 472 miles from Georgetown, South Carolina. But long before Michelle Obama was born, her great-great grandfather, Jim Robinson, likely toiled in the fields here six days a week, from sunup to sundown.

Good Lord, I’ve unleased the denizens of FReeperland. Yes, indentured servants, we had a few o’ them in the family too, okay, I’m with ya, so where’s the bailout??
This honkey wants his bailout.
Looks like we’re seeing some of MO’s history, now how about BO’s history, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
My great, great,great grand daddy and granny worked in the cotton fields from sun up to sun down with bloody hands bandaged ..My granny with her youngest child on her back..They had to work to put food on the table..To bad we can't hear about those poor farmers that did their own work instead of having slaves,,The slaves by the way that were sold to English and Americans by their own Chiefs..Now their chiefs are robbing their ancestors when we send money to feed the poor..
My father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather toiled in the fields seven days a week, from sunup to sundown.
BIG DAMN DEAL that Michelle Obama’s ‘likely’ did the same!!!
Just damn, ‘chelle is really a cracker. I wonder if she smokes cigars and ogles burlesque stars?
Come on, the woman did take a rock rake to the WH garden while wearing her earbobs and leather boots. LOL
So, does this mean we all have to write out reparations checks and send them to Michelle in the White House? The poor, deprived little baby.
Go back far enough, and you could very well find that Barak’s ancestors sold Michelle’s ancestors to the slave traders in Africa.
Sure they don’t mean Jim Thompson?
I remember him singing some song about picking cotton
once, or was it “take your cotton picking hands off my
GIN”.
That would be the same party that owns them today! The only difference is the government is helping to keep them down in order to make them victims and dependent on them! They are trying to do the same damn thing to US! We can't have anyone but government running our lives because we are too stupid to know what is best for us. /s
Who gives a sh_t?
Rather an ironic typo given the subject of conversation, don't you think?
Cheers!
You just beat me to it. I just don’t care.
Or maybe, Jim Thompson's. LOL!
Mmo's side ... we either successfully invaded northern England several times or were known as a pack of cattle and horse thieves depending on which side of the border you lived on. Eventually the Crown kicked their a$$es all the way to the colonies.
Dad's side: Kicked out of Germany in the 1700's .... not sure but thank God ...
Everyone's family in America that got here before about 1920 got their butts kicked out of every decent country in the world or they LOST bigtime.
Oh, good grief. How about this one? GRANT! Most all my GGGrandfather’s fought under him ~ except one. He switched sides in the middle.
Or....could there be a FReeper in Michelle’s woodpile?
Slavery was abolished before my ancestors were run out of Europe.
“take your cotton picking hands off my GIN”.

Yeah, that’s the one!
It must have been something we said.
