Almost a half century after slavery was abolished. They were too busy working in the coal mines and just trying to survive and provide for their families to be concerned with anyone's skin color. The men were all turned black from coal dust anyway.Inside and out. Maybe that's why they were treated not much better than slaves by the mine owners. Some ended up being killed in the mines. Many were crippled and couldn't work anymore. My maternal grandfather had his left hand crushed in a cave in. He also contracted miner's asthma. That's what they called black lung back in the day. So, Mr. Wayans, before you call my ancestors racist maybe you should learn a little about them first........... taminator013https://www.blogger.com/profile/02635084701986840255noreply@blogger.com
