        @USATODAY So? That doesn't make him a slave owner. He might not be proud of that part of his heritage, but he wasn't even alive. Get over it

        @USATODAY @hrkbenowen don't condemn him for what his ancestors did, do condemn him for trying to hide it! Slave owning was fine then.

        @USATODAY Too bad, the PC fantasy world has to conflict with the real world that is composed of us all. Damn his ancestors!
