Selma: No he went there
keli1: okay, whew...lol
jhonora: Don't you hate when these shows reveal that within the guest's immediate family there already is a genealogist; it isn't really a new revelation then
evpace: Bon jour jhonora.
jhonora: Bonjour evpace
keli1: Selma, wonder if he is linked to the Bacon Rebellion
Selma: Does he have VA roots..we will find out
Khathu: Hello everyone
Selma: Evening Khathu
keli1: Hello Khathu
bbenn: Hello Khathu
vkn: hi khathu
evpace: Where were the indigenous people,Mative Americans? Native oops
keli1: he knows darn well he didn't do any of his research, acting like he did with the book, lol,
Daviss: hello khathu!
bbenn: jhonora, you are right...what's new if the family historian has also conducted research and written a book?
evpace: keli1 lol
Selma: Becasue the family historians..don't always include it all..just what looks good
bbenn: ok...a bill of slave...maybe that's a new finding.
Khathu: that is not surprising
Selma: Would someone tell me why he is stunned
jhonora: He always make it seem as though slave owning was uncommon, I think it is an expected finding for many wealthy caucasian families
bbenn: they would not include that in the family history...that's property...
Khathu: Most white who do their research do not document their ancestors slave holding past
keli1: it was a way of life whooooo wonder if there are any babies
bbenn: wouldn't that be an interesting finding..pull out the DNA testlol lol
evpace: Surprise,surprise!!
bbenn: what? not aware of slavery in Mass...
keli1: well you talk about the north, it was not as prevelate as the south and a Quaker own means own, no matter if you were a nice owner or not, you OWNed someone
jhonora: It is a good series, but to me, thus far it needs to be named "Blacks Dealing with Whiteness and Whites Dealing with Slavery" lol
keli1: good for Kevin for saying this
evpace: Quakers owned slaves and when you read the minutes of Va meetings some women accepted ec-communication rather than give up their slaves.
Khathu: 35 y/o was considered old back then
Selma: I was gonna say..the life expentency was about 40 or 50\
keli1: sometimes I think the southern states did not allow slaves to read and write, is due to then not being able too why does he keep bringing his stuff in the show, we have went thru his whole family...hmmm
Daviss: lol @ keli1
bbenn: he is making certain that we know his admixturelol lol lol
keli1: well I can bring my stuff out too! lol
Nadasue: LOL... Daughter's friend before they left... "Wow.. I didn't know they left slaves to people in their wills!" Smh...
Khathu: if he do another dna to show the students of color how much white blood they have, i am going to scream i meant dna test
Nadasue: I'm back now, btw...lol
bbenn: ok, let's see how long it will take for him to bring up the admixture issue...
keli1: just shows how deep the "screwing" went on...
bbenn: lol lol lol lol
Khathu: Gates is really silly. His analysis of Lincoln is so incorrect
Nadasue: I've missed a lot. Will have to watch again tomorrow.
Daviss: Now Khathu you know he is a Historians Historian :?
Khathu: The Office of the President has one sole duties and that is to maintain the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution Daviss he is a literature major not a historian
Daviss: could have fooled me Khathu since thats all I see when I hear about him lol
evpace: I thought he majored in history at Yale.
Selma: Was he still owning his own slaves?
Khathu: He is not a trained historian. His speciality is literature. He is an honorary historian........
evpace: OK thanks Khathu.
Selma: Wonder if she is in Freedmen's Bureau records
Daviss: Gates: I was interested in American political history. My first degree was from Yale, in history, and John Morton Blum was my mentor. who is Blum Khathu
Khathu: Undergrad degree does not classify someone as a historian
Daviss: Aha!!
Khathu: He is considered an American literary critic He is not even considered an historian by his peers
Daviss: Selma new Masters champion named Bubba
Selma: I know Daviss..caught it on the news
Khathu: Blum was a political historian
