It's pretty easy to deal with such information when you don't give a fuck about ancestral guilt or whatever and you believe the sins of the parents need not be burdened on their children.

I reckon that most if not all people on earth could trace their ancestry back to a slave owner somewhere. I mean hell can't 1% of the population of the Earth trace their ancestry back to good ole Ghengis Khan anyway?

and the whole mess of Louisiana people of color (i.e., not "black") or Cherokee having slaves; and in Brazil a slave would rather buy another slave than be freed since he'd have to send just as much sugarcane anyways

And the elephant in the room people's own facts ignore: "because of all the rape by masters to their slaves and the amount of immigration in the late 1800s, it is significantly more likely that the average black person would be descended from slave owners than the average white person would be.
