Yep, you're lucky that your ancestors weren't Black. They didn't have to endure
generation after generation of abuse that included beatings and yes, rape.
Aren't *you* the Scottish princess? It's a ****ing joke that White folks minimize
the horror of centuries of Black slavery by pointing out White indentured

massacred dead loved ones.
