I know she wasn't saying everyone was a king or queen, but I'm just saying not all black people are descendents of kings or queens.
Even though I'm sure they weren't all savages, I'm sure it appeared that way. Think about it, if you were used to a culture where everyone covered nearly every inch of their body, lived in houses with doors and windows, and you could understand most everyone, and then you went to Africa... You would have thought they were savages too. They didn't understand them, and didn't want to. They just realized they could overpower these people and enslave them. Since they couldn't understand them, they didn't even think of them as people. It's horrible, but it's true. High School was mostly a joke. I have learned so much more about everything since I went to college.
Anyway, enough of my incessant rambling.
Later
Steve
