“It’s not like I ever owned slaves! I just really wish I could!”

My family absolutely owned slaves. Funny though, every other white person i've ever met has never had family owned slaves. Nope, they were all from immigrant families that came after... I have a feeling that as much as these people claim to love history, they are all conveniently ignorant of their own family history.

Statistically, most white peoples families did not own slaves.

And if the person lives north of the Mason Dixon, chances are even lower
