Weird. My history books didn't mention this part of slavery.

Want to know how deeply embedded the "popular idea" of slavery is?
I listen to the Skeptiko podcast with Alex Tsakiris. He had on a guest who mentioned that slavery in the US was not at all common, with perhaps 5% owning slaves. Alex disagreed.
So did Alex ask him for his source, or quote a figure from his own sources, or pause the interview to do his own quick research? Nope, he kicked the guy off the show. Nothing at all like that had ever happened in over 500 episodes. Oh, and he has never mentioned it since, so I would conclude he never did any research on it himself after that.
Alex is liberal-leaning but not an NPC either, as far as I can tell. But the programming runs very deep, right down to the bone.

It's common sense. People with slaves were the people with the money for it Most of the people around here come from families that were poor. They didn't have slaves, they WERE the slaves. Color didn't matter. My great grandparents on both sides worked on the railroad.
As a matter of fact, after some digging, i have found that, oddly, both sets of great grandparents lived in the same neighborhood (within a few blocks of each other.) Wild, right? Absolutely true though.
Ice Cube reverted?

Imagine buying a slave right before the Civil War. Ain't getting your ROI on that one!
