Everybody Wants a Million Dollars
A million dollars
per each black
descendant
Phew!
I’m descended from
more than one myself
What happens if my
black ancestry
were actually
rich
voting
slave-owners?
What happens
if a black person
is descended from
any white or black
colonizing
landowner?
What if you never
got a penny of
that blood-money
...anyway?
is this just a
skin color-trick
to hurt people?

The sexual fraternization (albeit sometimes with coercion) between slave owning families and slaves led among others to Alex Hailey, who learned he had at least one white ancestor when he researched his 'Roots'.
