guys, who of you had slave owning ancestors?

[dankogrg2]

come on, no time to confess as right now.
also, did they have mandingo fights?

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

My ancestors did a lot of heinous shit, but unfortunately I don't think they owned slaves.

 

[Reticulan Joe]

Had an ancestor who fought for the Confederacy as a cavalry officer, which meant he had enough money to have a horse, which means… yeah.

Any money that branch of the family had went out the window with the Great Depression, though.

 

[JustSomeChick]

No, but the house I grew up in was built on the same spot where a plantation home had been. My family didn’t live there at the time though.

There were slave cabins until my dad tore them down when I was little. At the time I thought they were play houses (I was maybe 4ish when he tore the, down).

My aunt always swore the house was haunted and wouldn’t go inside alone.

 

[Fascist Frederick]

Mine 100% did. My ancestors were terrible people and I try really hard to live up to their legacy.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

Evidently we did on my mom's side of the family. I can join the Sons of the American Revolution on that criterion as well.

Wish we could get back to those days, it's not even a racial thing, I just want to own slaves and make them cultivate a plantation...white, black, Hispanic, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that they know they're property, know their place, and will produce cotton, corn and tobacco on schedule.

 

[Judex Meus]

No, but the house I grew up in was just down the road from an abandoned train station that (allegedly) was the site of one of the last public lynchings that took place in the state.

 

[fake farts]

I'm not entirely sure, that's something I should ask older family members. My mom did grow up in a house with black staff though. They cooked, cleaned, one drove my granddad around, that type of shit.

 

[OrionBalls]

DAR with no history of slave ownership, here. My family was too poor to buy people. They just had a ton of kids to compensate.

 

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

I'm not sure whether they did or not. My grandmother once told me a family legend, of sorts, where one of our ancestors fought in the Civil War as an officer for the Confederacy. It could be that he served on her side of the family, though, with those on my grandfather's side serving for the Union. As two men are listed under the rank of private, with one of them possibly re-enlisting under a different name, for some reason.

 

[anliteralidiot]

I saw a black guy with the same surname as me once. So, maybe.

 

[Blouie]

I probably don't have any but I wish I did.

 

[MrTroll]

My ancestors owned noobs (in Quake 3).

 

[Agarathium1066]

What you think I come from a rich family? Nah.

 

[Wesker]

I'm not jewish, so...

 

[beautiful person]

One of my ancestors is this dude, who, along with killing many Indians and scheming millions of acres of land from them, was born on a plantation with about 110 slaves.

 

[Wenzelman]

Not me. Eastern Euronigger here and family has a very short history of being in the states. All long after Slavery was over.

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

My ancestors were British so.....maybe?

 

[Onni Kalsarikännit]

Germans never had slaves and my ancestors never did anything bad. Because the other thing never happened. But if it happened they deserved it.

 

[Caesare]

I wish we could be so refined and upstanding.
