Obama’s Ancestors Owned Slaves

And Mitt Romney’s great-grandfather had like, a bazillion wives.

So what?

As Allah notes:

This is the fruit of a 20-month election cycle, I guess: moronic genealogical studies to uncover the sins of the candidates’ fathers. Now the mudslinging transcends centuries!

LOL.  So Obama’s mother’s family owned slaves, and his father’s family sold them? 

What a kick in the pants!

[Feet make good soup!]

If you read about what happened when the “Indian Removal Act of 1830” was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Andrew Jackson, you will learn that Native Americans also owned slaves and were quite active in the slave trade. 

When the US gov forcefully removed the natives of the southeastern US over to the Oklahoma Territory, the natives brought with them 15,000 slaves of their own.

Also, there were black plantation owners in the South who owned slaves. 

There is nothing new under the sun.
