[align=center]"When you read that your forefather actually belonged to somebody it is something that is factual," he said. "I can’t hide from that fact. We all know what happened during slavery. [/align]
[align=center]"I can’t comment too negatively on that because it spoils the emotion of the pleasurable side of finding my forefathers. I hate the fact that they were slaves but it’s great to know where they existed and where everything truly began." [/align]Who Do You Think You Are?

But Colin my friend, it did not begin with slavery. In fact one can almost say it (the greatness of a Race) ended with slavery, except it did not actually end, justgottemporarily interrupted.

Respect

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

[align=left]I will save commentary until after I have seen the full program and comments in full context... but he seems damned inconvenienced bythe fact that he had slave ancestors. [/align]
[align=left]Is this surprise to him?? or does ithiccup his argument that he is 1/4 this, that, and the other. [/align]
[align=left]@ Backatya... good point![/align]

I could have told him the findings for free (and without the publicity too). Seeing how this 'revelations' seems to be of great surprise/inconvenience to him.

offtopic.gif,but people always said he washalf white/ half black.When infact hes a brown skinned man of mostly African descent.DNA.

"Jackson, 39, began his search by taking a DNA test for the BBC series, Who Do You Think You Are?, which showed that his genetic make-up is 55% African, 38% European and 7% native American Indian. "
