And some found a MUCH better life being a shill for their former owners.

I haven't researched his family line but his great-great (?) grandfather was a writer of the most bigoted tracts against blacks that you can find. His family were big in the founding of Virginia which is one of the most historically bigoted states in the nation.

William Byrd.

Yeah. Rasta will get his panties in a bunch over Senator Lott but he is peculiarly silent about the ONLY KKK member in the Senate.

And some of the biggest slave owners were themselves black.

Talking about slavery and the black vote is to try to sway them though convincing them one party owned more than the other. What does either party have for those that happen to live now?
