I posted this link recently in another thread and thought it might be worthy of its own thread.
In order to sell them, first they must have owned them. How did they come to own them? Either they bought them or they rounded them up.
I guess we can’t name anything after Obama then, right..?
In the 18th century, Muslim slavers moved into the interior of Kenya for the purpose of exploiting blood rivalries between local tribes. Muslims encouraged warring tribes, Obama Jr’s Luo ancestors included, to capture “prisoners of war” and sell them into slavery.
Hmm. Any Obama statues around?
I don’t like the “your ancestors had slaves” articles because they feed into the narrative of collective guilt. That’s how you get permission to engage in collective punishment.

Obama tried to enslave us all.
Obama still sucks!
Thanks for posting!
Saw that earlier tonight on the Anderson Cooper thread and I’d already started too many threads today! Was worthy of reposting though. Good info!
My 3rd great-grandfather owned some slaves in Tennessee. I would have told him how horrible that was, except I wasn’t born until ninety-two years after the old man died. He’s dead, the slaves are dead, and neither I nor anyone I am aware of in my family since then received any benefit out of slavery. The first several generations after the war, they were all pretty much dirt poor. I am not proud of what he did, but I have never lost a wink of sleep over it either. It is what it is . It you dig deeply into anyone’s family history, you’ll find plenty of people who did lots of interesting things.
Obama’s white ancestors in Maryland, the Duvalls, had lots of slaves and no doubt transacted. My ancestors too. Bamarama is like a 10 th cousin, God help me
