    Obama told of family's slave-owning history in deep South

    Reitwiesner traced Obama's great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall, and found that he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. He also found out that Obama's great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.

    Can you post where I referred to average ability? I don’t recall that.

    I posted a link to top players. I have no data on the average ratings by racial groups.

    My guess is the average chess-playing ability of all races is equally shitty.

    I used to sit at one of those tables back in the mid 1990s with my own bag of chess pieces and play people for fun, not money, and watch the sharks juice the fish. It was quite entertaining. I remember specifically two folks. One craggly looking guy who called himself the MASTAH and faked a Russian accent, and a black guy called "Flash". Real slick dresser. They were darn good.

    Because Democrats just can't stand to see other people actually doing something concrete to help a cause, they have to go in and pick faults with everything until the people who are actually doing the stuff get all fed up and then they go in and put on their shows to make the people that they are helping believe that they are doing more when in reality deliver lot less.

    This Juneteenth crap is exactly the testament to this. It goes in declares a holiday making a pretense of bringing awareness of something while in reality delivering nothing.
