Specifically, Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfather on his mother’s side, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves — a 15-year-old black girl and 25-year-old black man.


Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves — a 60-year-old black man and 58-year-old black woman.


Furthermore, the Duvalls, who lived in the 1800s, can be traced back to Mareen Duvall, a land owner in the 1600s who owned 18 slaves.


Oops! What's going on here? Think we should ask him to come out of pocket to pay retribution to the ancestors of those slaves held by his family? :rolleyes:

How do you "own a 15-year-old" or a 58-year-old?
Wouldn't they be 16 and 59 the next year?

Do you work on being ignorant? Or does it come naturally??

Well wtf dood? Did they only own these slaves momentarily? Do people not aqe when they're slaves?
Am I just wrong adding one to my age every birthday or what?

Who said there was such a thing as "paying retribution" anyway? Are you suggesting The O'bama must "pay retribution" to himself?
