It really does amaze me, the things that pop into my head at any given moment.
People go on about their ancestors being slaves but they tend to over look the fact that roughly 60% of the people who came off of a boat were slaves. Indentured or otherwise. People sold their children into servitude for hopes of a better life. Folks gave up decades of their life for the chance to step foot on American soil. Not every one was a Plantation owner or an Estate holder.
I digress.
No one likes to look past their own soapbox.
No one really likes to bring up these kinds of topics. I don't know why. Well, maybe I do but I'll feign ignorance with the rest of 'em.
Happy Friday the 13th.
