How Do You Feel Having a Slave Masters Last Name?

[Archangel]

My last name is Benson and I'm currently looking at African names to change it. But 1st I'm going to submit an Ancestry.com application to see where my line mostly derived from.

We really walking round outchea with last names that don't belong to us. I read a long time ago that freed slaves would often change their last names to colors like Black, Blue, etc to remove themselves from the heritage of their previous slave owners.

Remember, slave owners wold completely strip slaves of their identity but now we can use the technology to trace back our heritage. We should take advantage of this. If you don't know where you came from, you have no future; you will always be living a lie.

Purify yourselves from the stains of slavery. This country is already full of constant reminders of it's demonic past. Let us not carry around the burden in our own names.
