[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's lucky he even has a popular sitcom from the 1970s named after him. [youtube]https://youtu.be/_-OnRQ4P0VY?si=klgYPX2w67B57LlK[/youtube][/quote] Most kids in the US who grew up in Northern cities had absolutely no idea that black people were descendants of slaves. I grew up watching this show. I had no idea or understanding that Jefferson was originally a slave holder sur name passed on to people literally stolen from the African continent and brought to the US in chains. I was in my early 20s before I learned the shocking truth. Yes, I was taught about slavery in school. However I honestly never made the connection that my black friends were the descendants of slaves. And no they weren't newly arrived immigrants. I just thought they were from the same city I was from. Technically they were. [/quote]
