What kind of person would marry a man like that?

I hope he is one of the first in line to pay reparations....

Most likely she is also a descendent of slave-owners too like Kamala and Obama.

Most families are, regardless of color. Not to mention the Africans who willingly took part in and profited from the slave trade to the world. Enslaved their own for centuries too. But they never admit that part.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Identity politics looks to place the blame for past wrongs on those who had no part in them.

These people are completely illogical and/or corrupt.

There were a lot of slave owners. Not very entertaining.

"The 1860 census shows that in the states that would soon secede from the Union, an average of more than 32 percent of white families owned enslaved people. Some states had far more slave owners (46 percent of families in South Carolina, 49 percent in Mississippi) while some had far fewer (20 percent of families in Arkansas)." - https://www.history.com/news/5-myths-about-slavery

The entertaining part is who it is, not the number of slave owners.

Every single person alive has ancestors who owned slaves. Every single person alive has ancestors who were slaves.

Focusing on either over how you choose to live your life is pretty dumb.

A couple of years ago, I received an email from a guy who was doing some genealogical research for his family. Some of his living family members shared some DNA markers with ancestors in my family tree, and he couldn't figure out where the link was coming from. Turned out that his great-great-great-grandmother (a beloved matriarch revered by his family) had been a slave in the household next door to my great-great-great-grandfather, and his great-great-grandfather was the result. Even more curious, she was moved with the household to Mississippi, and my great-great-great grandfather moved his family to Mississippi to be right next door to her again. I never heard from the guy again after his living family realized what that really meant.

Black is an adjective, and unless it is at the start of a sentence (like this one), or a name, it should not be capitalized

If you look at just the Brazos County (1859) you can count about 60 "slave plantations". This is just for one rural Texas county in 1859.

Hmmmm, 32%?

I always thought you had to be fairly wealthy to own a slave. Most people back then were not. Certainly not 30% of Americans.

How trustworthy is that report?

This is stretching and conflating numbers...

It's basically like this:

Mom and Dad own an SUV. They have 4 kids, all under the age of 10. Because they're in their family, they ALSO own the SUV.

So, now, we have 6 SUV owners.

BOOM!!! Percentage of SUV owners has tripled...

I never realized how much the map of Brazos County looks like Iraq.

Just think about the global warming future and all those unfortunate children who will be able to trace their heritage back to an SUV owner.

Wrong.

It's an identity. Therefore capitalized.

Ever seen anybody refer to mexican Americans? christians, muslims, jews

If you want to breakout chapter and verse of the Chicago Manual of Style, or the MLA Formatting and Style Guide, I'll listen.

From the AP Style Guide:

Quote:
AP's style is now to capitalize Black in a racial, ethnic or cultural sense, conveying an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa. The lowercase black is a color, not a person. AP style will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic and cultural senses.
Looks like they're taking a page from Pride Month and going both ways...

Why isn't WHITE capitalized if all your other examples are?
