Sad, yet repetitive story of most black American ancestors.

The purpose for my search for Isaac Johnson was interesting because like artwork it is controversial in nature and ignites various responses. The review of Isaac Johnson of Kentucky is very similar to most Black Americans. Therefore, I'm very interested to know more information about him. His siblings names, Also, who his wife was. Your review in my opinion is not funny, as some reviews have said. By his father being a slave owner and his mother a slave shows that she was not in love with him; in fact most likely taken to him. His father selling them into slavery and his mother back into slavery tells the bitter truth of why so many black people are angry and bitter. Yet, through the belief in a higher power is why so many are strong, love all and continue to endure. To know your history is to know yourself. This story is interesting and should be told as well as others like this. Hopefully Isaac Johnson of Kentucky found his siblings and his wife in Canada. Thank God he escaped without death or else that would have been another generation lost. "God, forgive them for they know not what they have done." Black America has always accepted interracial children as there own people, because the government and the people of our country didnot. This is nothing new. (interracial children)It appears that the government and religious leaders are now more accepting because of the benefits it may bring.
