I don't think that this is something we should be looking at to determine whether or not we like someone. Saw a show that's that said Mario Lopez's family was into slavery way back when.
Nawh bro, gotta blame the guy for the actions of others for something so far back he wasn't even an itch on his father's nutsack. Like there's any shortage of bad things to say about the guy that he's completely responsible for lmao
Right, because those privileges and wealth just went poof one day and disappeared, to no longer have an impact..
Go back far enough in your family tree -- or anyone's, really -- and I guarantee you'll find at least one piece of shit. Get off your pedestal.
You're such a hateful bigot.
No one here denied that racism exists
Agreed I was thinking the same thing. There could be a liberal congress person with the same ties. You shouldn’t blame them though. That’s like being related to an infamous serial killer and people blaming you for the murders even though you had nothing to do with them.
Except a serial killer wouldn't leave someone with generational wealth and privilege that give them such a massive head start in life.
How about holding a powerful position in government and doing nothing to fix the inequality brought on by slavery?

"liking" has nothing to do with it, acknowledging that someone in power has generations of privilege that enabled them to get there that others don't and which exists on their backs (and very much did not end when slavery was abolished privatised), and how that impacts society is merely stating facts.
The facts that these facts make you uncomfortable is the issue, not the reality, and that's for you to work out for yourself.

Jfc, you racists (denying racism exists is racism) need to get your heads out of your asses https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/06/19/why-racial-wealth-gap-persists-more-than-years-after-emancipation/

You are right about one thing - there could, and absolutely are democrats with the same upper hand, and they should be held just as accountable.

Held accountable for what? Being born?

Systemic racism isn't real
