I saw a an African American preacher on TV yesterday extolling the virtues of Donald Trump, complete with all the stereotypical intonations of the rural pulpit. That made me wonder whether such attitudes in the 21st Century, which of course strike me as self-destructive, might have originated in an earlier era. So of course I went to that font of historical truth, Google.

Using the search string "19th century black writers supporting slavery" I got the following result (graphic). I conclude therefrom that the preacher was just seeking his 15 minutes of fame.
