Anita,
As I have stated to one of the list members, when I look in the mirror I
wonder which ancestor(s) I resemble. Who am I most like personality
wise, etc. With mixed ancestry a person should find it difficult to
choose a favorite or to be angry with one because of circumstances you
do not understand or have incomplete information about.
After doing DNA testing and finally being able to connect to a tribe in
Africa, I realized that my ancestors participated in slave trading and
continue today with enslaving their young women for religious purposes.
These are some of the reasons I have not participated in some of the
discussions about slavery. How can I condemn one and defend the other
based on race?
