    Lol reminds of the commercial - "I was a little afraid you know I mean being an African American I knew where my family tree might end up. But, I went on ancestry.com anyway, and I found out my great-great grandfather was born a slave... but died a businessman, that was worth finding."

    That's nothing new. In America every one is mixed up. You got some white people based off there dna who are atleast 40 percent black.

    He's still ? inna Black face... This is an administration that has abolished due process and legalized secret military arrests, interrogations and imprisonment, seized control over U.S. farms, livestock and seeds created secret "? lists" of American citizens to be murdered by the state (including at least one young girl), escalated the failed War on Drugs, paid off Wall Street banksters with another trillion dollars in bailout money, conspired with Monsanto to eliminate regulation of GMOs, and expanded both DHS and the TSA to keep violating Americans' Fourth Amendment rights across the airports (and city streets) of America.

    ^This.

    His mother worked in intelligence. He's related to Cheney and Bush. Who the ? cares if he descended from slaves.

    Thats like when people say Mitt Romney's dad walked with MLK, what the ? does that have to do with Mitt?

    BTW king was part of the boule one of the highest paid civil rights leaders, I dont trust that man either.

    Malcolm was right anytime your enemy congratulates a man or awards them in the middle of the battle

    you gotta shoot that man the side eye.

    John Punch was enslaved while the man that escaped with him, a white guy, was let go! The reasoning was it was easier to find Mr. Punch than the other guy in a crowd.

    John Punch

    John Punch, James Gregory, and a man named Victor were all indentured servants contracted to Virginia planter Hugh Gwyn. These three men each performed similar tasks as slaves and each also felt so exploited he was willing to take unimaginable risks to pursue freedom. John, James, and Victor ran away and were captured within days.

    Though fleeing similar circumstances, the fates of the runaways differed under the court's aegis. A judge sentenced all three to whippings. He then added four years to the indenture terms of James and Victor, both white Europeans. John, a black man, alone he condemned to lifelong servitude.

    John Punch is one of the first servants on record to be sentenced to slavery on the grounds of race. However, he was neither the first nor the last black man to flee from oppressive ? . Despite the development of harsh fugitive slave laws in the next century, running away remained one of the most common strategies for escaping slavery.

    Second vid RS posted they Youtube vid publisher is reachin at the 2:15 mark when he says that politicians and presidents bloodlines can be traced back to babylonian kings and egyptian pharaohs.

    If its true then it needs to be laid out because otherwise it looks like silly conjecture used as filler which discredits
    the whole claim.

    there are genealogical firms that have been keeping track of bloodlines for longer than you'd think... you can actually research it yourself..
