|  Meeting David Wilson MSNBC Special Its a documentary about a 28yr old black man named David Wilson and his visit tothe ancestors of his ancestors slave masters......Crazy. Ironically the man he will meet is also named David Wilson. It should be a powerful piece. Btw.......the slavemasters are only 3 generations apart from the 62 year old David Wilson who owns a series of barbeque resterants in north carolina(did some of that blood money help him start his businesses?) If you missed the episode click on this link:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/ and then click on meeting david wilson.

It was about some town, that was at one point divided into the "black side of the town" and "white side of the town" and the oldest people living in the town today were grandchildren great-grandchildren of the slave masters although slavery at the time was abolished. At this point, the KKK pretty much went over to the other side of the tracks (black side of town) and killed a bunch of people and usurped their land. There was so much lynching and killing that the remainder black families just left town. Then this guy who was a direct descendant of one of those black families came back and started this whole dialogue about reparations.

| He admitted he was very angry at 1st, until he got to really know the other david wilson. I believe most black americans would love to make the kind of discovery he did while traveling to africa and all. All the work he had to endure reliving what his ancestors went thru picking tobacco was unbelievable taking home no pay working from sun up to sun down. Chris rocks wife was so on point when she suggested that reparations be given in the way of after school programs etc.... what a great piece.
