Re: Which is worse? Slave owning ancestors or polygamist ancestors?
[ QUOTE ]
While Obama's ancestors are irrelevant to his presidential bid, I have to admit that BGC blew my mind with the idea of a black guy's ancestors owning slaves. I think it puts the Affirmative Action and reparations debate in a new light. [/ QUOTE ] The first slave registered in what would become the United States was owned by a black man. This goes much deeper than Obama. [ QUOTE ] In 1654, John Casor, a black man, become the first legally-recognized slave in the area to become the United States. Casor was owned by one of the original indentured servants, a black colonist named Anthony Johnson. [/ QUOTE ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery

So basically this is your way of slinging garbage at Obama? If you dont care, why bring it up? [/ QUOTE ] Look inside to spot your own obvious bias.

Re: Which is worse? Slave owning ancestors or polygamist ancestors?
Hey, Iron. If, instead of implying that polygamy was "wrong", this thread was implying that homosexuality was "wrong", would it still be here? Or are we picking and choosing where we're allowed to be bigots?

Re: Which is worse? Slave owning ancestors or polygamist ancestors?
Yeah, probably. I've started threads about Mary Cheney myself. And I know I'd be interested to know if Hillary had a black ancestor.

Re: Which is worse? Slave owning ancestors or polygamist ancestors?
Is this a pro Rommney thread? If he has polygamist personally, I'd vote for him. The first ladies could be a rockettes-type kick line during the state of the union.

Polygamy was not reasonable back in the day. [/ QUOTE ]Polygamy is socially condoned (or even promoted) also when men are scarce, compared to women, due to wars.
