Thanks for the links the articles are pretty interesting.
As a general matter, does it matter if a candidate's ancestors owned slaves? I mean, for me, as a white male living in New England, it doesn't really matter much, but I'm not exactly qualified to speak for others.
ETA: Never mind - question withdrawn.

Most whites don't like talking about slavery...because why should they be held accountable for what their ancestors did?

Well, this is actually an entirely different thread, and doesn't really address ksig's point at all (should we care of McCain's distant family owned slaves? Why or why not?) . . . Although you might have been joking, in which case, as always, I'm an idiot.
