    American??? Please. Let’s be real.

    She was kidnapped as a child (7-8 years old) from West Africa. She was named after the slave ship that brought her to the United States and then purchased by Wheatley’s whose last name she carried.

    She was African and a slave.

    Mr. Jenks if one of your children had been kidnapped, renamed and brought to Absurdistan as a slave; would you be pleased to call him and Absurdistanian?
