President Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president, with the exception of former President Donald Trump, are descendants of slaveholders, a report by Reuters revealed Tuesday.

Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama are reportedly direct descendants of slaveholders. Obama is reportedly a descendant of a slaveholder through his white mother’s side.

The report determined that Trump was not a decedent of slaveholders because his ancestors came to the United States after Americans abolished slavery.

Media will still call him racist anyway

[Delta 21]

No wonder everyone hates him.

[NWFree]

No wonder libtards hate Trump so much

[MeanWestTexan]

Obama’s father tribe are CURRENTLY slave traders.

And were slave traders back 300 years ago.

[Bob434]

The left will claim he treated his wives as slaves

[tennmountainman]

Biden personally owes Blacks reparations.

[Daveinyork]

I once quipped that obama’s ancestors sold Michelle’s ancestors to Hillary’s ancestors.

[Honest Nigerian]

See?!
Proves that he is a racist SOB!!

[sipow]

Well if that is the only negative thing about him, I think he is doing pretty well.

Yes,
His father side is German (immigrated in late 1800), his mother was poor Scottish cleaning lady, immigrated in early 1900.
But heck, there were native slaves in Europe too.
That ended around 15th century, but the serfs were not too much better off than slaves. French revolution and the revolution of 1848 ended most servitudes in Europe, except for Russia (1861).
Turkish empire, which controlled southeast Europe, abolished slavery like 1922.

There’s a lot of people in America that have ancestors that owned slaves. It’s nearly unavoidable unless all sides of your family immigrated to America after the civil war. If you trace your ancestors back six generations you have 256 ancestors. It explodes after that because it is an exponential equation. I guess it is really racist to have a helluva lot of ancestors that came to America early and built this nation. Building stuff is racist. “You didn’t build that,” unless they can call you racist. Otherwise, being a lazy ass sucking on the teat of the American taxpayer is a good thing and you deserve reparations.

The report determined that Trump was not a decedent of slaveholders because his ancestors came to the United States after Americans abolished slavery.

As far as being racist or not, that's irrelevant.

Racism is about whether you are white or your ancestors were white. If your skin is white, you are a racist. Democrats will not have charges/accusations of racism not include anybody that's white. Get with the program!

The American Heritage Dictionary: slave

Word History:

The derivation of the word slave encapsulates a bit of European history and explains why the two words slave and Slav are so similar; they are, in fact, historically identical. The word slave first appears in English around 1290, spelled sclave. The spelling is based on Old French esclave from Medieval Latin sclavus, "Slav, slave," first recorded around 800. Sclavus comes from Byzantine Greek sklabos (pronounced sklävōs) "Slav," which appears around 580. Sklavos approximates the Slavs' own name for themselves, the Slověnci, surviving in English Slovene and Slovenian. The spelling of English slave, closer to its original Slavic form, first appears in English in the 1500s. Slavs became slaves around the beginning of the ninth century when the Holy Roman Empire tried to stabilize a German-Slav frontier. By the 1100s, stabilization had given way to wars of expansion and extermination that did not end until 1410, when the Poles crushed the knights of the Teutonic Order at Grunwald in north-central Poland. · As far as the Slavs' own self-designation goes, its meaning is, understandably, better than "slave"; it comes from the Indo-European root *kleu-, whose basic meaning is "to hear" and occurs in many derivatives meaning "renown, fame." The Slavs are thus "the famous people." Slavic names ending in -slav incorporate the same word, such as Czech Bohu-slav, "God's fame," Russian Msti-slav, "vengeful fame," and Polish Stani-slaw, "famous for withstanding (enemies)."

EVERYONE has ancestors who were slaves and slave owners.

[ChronicMA]

why didn’t they report on all 45 people who ever held the office of President. I am curious about all of them.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Why is this story in the media?

Is this part of recent attempts to push reparations for slavery?

[ChronicMA]

If you include all of history 100% of the world population is descendant of slave owners. Yes all of us. Obviously they were only talking about USA and colonial American slave owners.

[SunkenCiv]

So, IOW, his ancestors were *such bigots* that they didn't even want people of color living on their plantations!

If Donald Trump is racist, he’s terrible at it. I mean, it’s pretty hard to be a racist when you appoint one of your friends, Ben Carson, a black doctor as your secretary of housing and urban development and it’s pretty hard to be xenophobic when your wife just so happens to be an immigrant.

[No name given]

That’s how I feel about the kkkommiecrat party.
