The closest I can get to that is my wife's grandfather was a slave.If we are, anthropologically speaking, all literally out of Africa, then it’s perfectly reasonable to identify as a black person. Ergo, when the reparations checks start getting issued, I demand one for me too.
She picked cotton when she was a child.....but that's not like being a slave.
Slavery is only getting $50 million per year instead of $200 million.
