I'd say give her the cash if she goes and lives in Namibia. Money well spent if you ask me!

The ironic thing is that the proportion of African Americans that are descendants of slave owners is greater than the proportion of white Americans that are.

Really?

I'm not disputing your comment, but I'd love to see your source.

I admit it's an inference based on (1) African Americans statistically have a pretty high degree of European ancestry (circa 15%), and (2) statistically speaking, the average African American has been in the US much longer than the average white - most American whites can't trace their ancestry to the U.S. during slavery, most American-born blacks are descendants of people who were here. (African immigration was quite rare post slave trade until very recently).

Thanks. That's an interesting take that I never considered.

I believe that Mrs. Obama's ancestors were owned by Mrs Obama's other white ancestors.

Mr. Obama is descended from a slave on his white mother's side. But not from any slaves on his Kenyan father's side.

And of course many people of Irish descent in this county were also slaves here during the 1600's - they were generally cheaper than the black slaves who were not the hated Catholics.

I hope Ms. Banks keeps us in mind.

That is why I have often said that African-Americans have roots in this country that run deeper than most whites and that Barack Obama has almost nothing in common with them.
