Just like Vice Resident Harris :biggrin:



ALEX Scott becomes emotional on Who Do You Think You Are? when she learns her great grandfather owned 26 slaves.

The BBC pundit, 37, is horrified to find her 4x great grandfather Robert Francis Coombs was a slave owner with over two dozen people captive at his huge property in Jamaica.

The Football Focus host is shown records of those enslaved to Robert between 1817 and 1832 in an upcoming episode of the BBC documentary show.

A stunned Alex cannot believe what she is seeing, and asks: "In my family line - this doesn't sound right coming out of my mouth - but Robert Francis Coombs owned people?"

The historian explains Coombs received preferential treatment for being light-skinned, and it wasn't unusual for free black people to own slaves at the time.

Fighting tears, Alex replies: "In terms of explaining my emotion behind it, I suppose that goes against everything that I stand for, who I am."

In a preview clip, she adds: "I was very aware we may be delving into the topic of slavery, but I really did believe I'd be learning about my family as slaves, not the other side, as the slave owners."

The ex-footballer also discovers Robert had a relationship with one of the slaves and fathered two children with one of the women he owned, Eleanor Frances Henry.

Q PATRIOT!!!

I am always amazed by black people who think they were the only ones who were slaves.  Slavery has been around everywhere and in many different ways forever.

America is not racist. ​America didn't exist yet. If blacks or white lefties have a problem with slaves being brought over to the new world, then have a discussion with who enslaved them in the first place. How did African slaves end up to where those three ships left to the new world? Have a word with the Italians because last I checked, Columbus was Italian (using Spanish ships).

If white lefties have a problem with slavery, they they need to ask themselves why did they keep them around for so long?

If blacks have a problem with slavery, they need to ask themselves why do they keep voting for the ones who kept them as slaves?
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

The way they teach history these days,
they give the impression that America invented racism and slavery.
In fact, America has always been among the leaders
of leading humanity AWAY from racism and slavery!

Slavery has existed for as long as people have existed.
Racism has existed for as long as LIFE has existed!

All the nationalities of Europe have always hated one another.
When they came to America, they brought those hatreds with them.
In the big cities, they congregated into neighborhoods by nationality.

Through the 1800s and 1900s, people gradually came to see themselves
less as members of their ethnic groups, and more as Americans.
America was the great melting pot.  Elements of many cultures
were added to the American foundation of individual rights.

Today's "liberals" are trying to re-ignite all those old racial hatreds
with their condemnation of "cultural appropriation."
Leftists incite hate against people for the "crime" of
learning from and appreciating other cultures.

Leftist "educators" program people to get back into their ethnic boxes
and hate everyone from every other group
who dares to learn from and appreciate something from your ethnic culture.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" has been replaced with
"imitation is a hate crime - it's cultural appropriation!"

Leftists train everybody to hate everybody else
so that everybody will oppress one another,
because leftists just can't do all the oppressing they want to do by themselves!
Here are the 10 RINOs who voted to impeach Trump on Jan. 13, 2021 - NEVER forget!

Someone at work actually believes that half of America is racist because some American hating left-winger said or wrote something somewhere.

Sounds like that left-winger is racist. They are pushing skin color and not content of character. Wanna bet they said half voted for Trump, and therefore they are racist? Major case of T.D.S. effecting his brain, heart, and sole? And, the poor guy has been brainwashed to believe it.

People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.
