President Joe Biden has often shown pride in his Irish Catholic roots, but on another side of his ancestry, the progressive commander-in-chief's family lineage can be traced back to America's shameful past of slave ownership.Jesse Robinett, Biden's great-great-great grandfather, owned two enslaved people in Maryland in the 1800s, according to a Politico story adapted from a bombshell new book, The Bidens. Biden shares an apparent connection with Robinett through his full name - Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Another ancestor of Biden's also reportedly owned a slave in Maryland - a 14-year-old boy.

Cancel him! Isn’t that would happen if he were a Republican? Also this is old news but if he was a conservative it would have been exploited long ago.

Irish people have been enslaved.
Romans have been Enslaved.
Blacks have been enslaved.
Indians have been enslaved.
Muslims are still enslaving whomever they wish to.
The United States outlawed slavery by a unanimous vote of REPUBLICANS in Congress.

File under "So What." Any White American whose family tree extends back to colonial times and below the Mason-Dixon line is likely to find evidence of an ancestor who owned slaves, me included. While slavery is repugnant to us today, it was part and parcel of Southern culture at the time, and Old Demented is no more responsible for the actions of his ancestors as I am of mine. He has enough examples of racist behavior in his own actions to be held accountable for without digging up dirt on on his forebears. .

Then Biiden must start paying reparations out of his family fortune immediately.

What a great duo Biden and Harris are, they both are descendants of slave holders!! I think this is a first for modern history that both the president and vice president's family have owned slaves. Democrats must be proud.

So, both pResident and Veep are from slave holding families.
Make sure all the black voters are aware of this.

Right. FTA...'America's shameful past of slave ownership' and 'America's shameful tradition.'
got news for you...England had slaves before the United States even became a country. So drop the holier than thou attitude, you guys have an even longer 'tradition' of slavery than us and maybe you should concentrate on the politicians in Great Britain whose GGG grandparents owned slave. OK?

If you have to use great three times to describe a relative of someone who is 80 years old, then don't even bother to try and pin blame on the 80 year old for something that happened that long ago. My sister and I have traced our heritage back to Henry the eighth, but I'm not going to take the blame for Henry's behavior and his habit of beheading former wives.

Ah! So his racism is generational and inbred. Time to pay those reparations, Talibiden.

I doubt it, #12. Only 5% of the population owned slaves. The rest, like my ancestors, were too poor.

#19, they would blame you if this were you and you were a Republican, so turn-about is fair play.

So having failed to denounce his ancestors, Joe himself must also be a racist. If we are going to hold people accountable for childhood misbehaviors, we must also hold BiteMe to account.

And Delaware was one of the 4 Northern slave states not included in the Emancipation Proclamation (doesn't really matter too much, but it's a nice little gig).

If there was a great concern about slavery, there would be unrest in Africa to free current slaves.
As Rush would say 'Symbolism over substance.'

JoBuydem and Jean-Fraud Kerry are about as Irish Catholic as a poodle's airse.
They both expect the use of this fig-leaf to cover for contemptible treachery and corruption. Both have more to hide, it would seem.
Some of Joe's 'more' lies before us; it explains much:
his deranged mind covets the slaver's power to capture , abuse, and plunder his neighbour's wife, his neighbour's children and teens--especially young boys.

My grandmother once told me I am a descendant of Charlemagne. Then I did the math. Everyone with European blood is a descendant of Charlemagne.

One of my ancestors was the biggest slave holder in Georgia before the Civil War. Am I ashamed? No, I wasn’t around then so I really can’t feel any guilt and I don’t think Biden should be criticized for his ancestors either. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize the old fool. Destroying the USA would be number one.
