So now the NAACP has besmirched themselves and deserves no more respect.

Can't wait for Slick to chime in w/his white guilt and take up for Jesse or the NAACP. Since his descendants have been here since the Mayflower (allegedly) you can bet that his family has had some honest to goodness slaves running around the shed out back.

stopped the slave thing in the 1820's......actually, and I've said it here more than once, one great plus of Obama's election is that it finally rendered Jackson, Sharpton, et al more or less irrelevant. You can't make much of a living blaming 'the man', when 'the man' is a Black man.

as for the allegedly, look up John Littleton, Accomac, Virginia, if you care to.

Factoid: My Grandfather, same surname

Samuel Fuller (baptised 1580 – died 1633) was an English doctor and church deacon. He is remembered as one of the Separatist Pilgrims who together formed the colony in North America at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

not aware of any slaves in the family history, but that doesnt mean there weren't any it was not against the law and was a common practice.

I probably mis-read the above, but if your Grandfather died in 1633, either you or your father are EXTREMELY long-lived.

Slave-holding was pretty uncommon in the Massachusetts colony and in the New England states. Mainly a matter of economics, as opposed to ethics or morality. My ancestors ran a couple of tobacco plantations, ending up around 2500 acres in size. To work that kind of land, slaves were the most cost efficient labor available. The cotton farmers, later, in the Deep South, owned tons more slaves as their production was even more labor intensive and the property sizes larger. Northern farms were smallish, within the scope of a large family to manage, so no extra expenditures needed to be made.

Well that's ok then. As long as they only had a few slaves.......................

given the mores of the time, yes, it was acceptable. Although, you provide a fine example of how the nation has grown to accept what is morally right. I'll bet, if Rasmussen were here to do polls in 1750, 90% of the citizens would have considered owning slaves to be ok. Doesn't make it right, does it? Now, go back to your thread with the poll data and consider how your stepped on your own dick again, and as is becoming alarmingly regular, come off as a slow-witted buffoon. A real joke, actually.
