Linus Torvalds approved on Friday a new and more inclusive terminology for the Linux kernel code and documentation.
Going forward, Linux developers have been asked to use new terms for the master/slave and blacklist/whitelist terminologies.
The Linux team did not recommend any specific terms but asked developers to choose as appropriate.
The new terms are to be used for new source code written for the Linux kernel and its associated documentation.
The older terms, considered inadequate now, will only be allowed for maintaining older code and documentation, or "when updating code for an existing (as of 2020) hardware or protocol specification that mandates those terms."
Also At:
Linux kernel will no longer use terms 'blacklist' and 'slave'

Do you assume my race and heritage? Or Do you assume any member of %race% had slaves. Do you assume I came from wealth able to own slaves? Too many assumptions.
Regardless, if you really care. My ancestors were discriminated against and did not own slaves. Nor wealthy enough to do so. "involuntary workers" describes my childhood. There was always a project to work on given from my father. I praise him for giving me that work even if I hated it at the time.

I think GP was sarcastically referring to your ancestors. In other words, anyone in your family tree over the past few thousand years that may have owned slaves at some point.
Assuming 20 years per generation (historically probably not far off), you have up to 1.2 x 1030 ancestors over the past 2000 years. Even assuming 90% of your ancestors are 'shared' (i.e. branches of the family tree rejoining), that's a hell of a lot of people. At least one of them is guaranteed to have owned slaves at some point.
In other words, we are all descended from slave owners at some point in our family tree - some of us just a bit more recently than others. Does that make us all bad people?

All I can gather from this conversation and the topic "new terminology banning terms like master and lave" is, yes. Any genealogy judged by modern morality is original sin. It should not matter but then why are words now being changed to accommodate such original sin?

Yeah, everyone has ancestors who did abominable things. Accept it. This doesn't mean *you* need to do abominable things.
As for renaming master-slave, blacklist, etc. Well, ok. If it makes some people uncomfortable, then it's the proper thing to do. But be *very* careful that you explicitly define what the new names mean, and pick terms that won't lead to future confusion. Some of those terms really need to be replaced anyway, because their definitions were quite sloppy, either originally, or became so through usage. Which end of a USB cable is the master?

That may be true, but is not a refutation of the argument posed. It's classic whattaboutism. You can't prove the absense of a property within members of a set by finding an individual without that property. To refute a claim "there exists an X with property P" you need to put forward an argument that "all X do not have property P". All you've done is claim "there exists an X without property P".

No whattaboutism. I didn't bring up any accusation to deflect the topic. I quoted the position and rebutted. I can be wrong or have faulty logic. That's not whattaboutism. Your comment demonstrates as much by arguing the logic or lack there of.
A statement made with "may" which does not change its meaning with "may not" is a weak position and built on underlying assumptions. We may find the answer to fusion in 15 years. We may solve X. We may not solve X. Something is required to solve X that is assumed can happen in the way that supports my position as demonstrated by this math on my napkin. I assume that is enough evidence to solve X.

I only just saw your questions. Actually the Catholic church kept very accurate baptismal, marriage and death records and many of them can be researched online. It's more than 10 years ago and I forgot where I created my family tree. Others have taken over and added more information. I remember finding only one blood related marriage among many, because it mentions a "marriage permission for cosanguinity in the 3rd and 4th degree" in 1727. The oldest confirmed record of a direct ancestor I could find was from 1462.
Other than that I have a list of people who, like me, participated in a DNA research program. They differ 6 to 15 mutations from me. In context this means that our most recent common ancestor lived roughly 500 years ago for the 6 mutation difference, to very roughly 1250 years ago for the 15 mutation difference. I've never been able to connect any of their family trees to mine though.
My haplogroup migrated out of Africa around 25k years ago, long after the first waves of human migration. As a result of slavery would be a plausible scenario, but of course nobody will ever know what really happened that long ago.

I do not really agree with this. In my view Trump is using JFK as his model. I suspect he ultimately wouldn't even really mind going out the same way. When he was pushing hard for a return to American excellence in space (including trying to accelerate a moon landing), he was clearly just trying to mimic, in rather overt fashion, the path to historicity that JFK took. But there's also something else very relevant about JFK. After JFK took a bullet to the head is when the military industrial complex started to skyrocket in influence, growth, and overall power. It was none other than General Eisenhower (the president prior to JFK) who said: [wikipedia.org]
I've gradually grown to like Trump because of his seeming effort to push back against the military industrial complex. Doesn't hurt that I also absolutely despise political correctness and its associated evils. But beyond this, the next decade is going to be one of the most important in our history. The reason is that we're at an international inflection point. China is already the wold's largest [wikipedia.org] economic superpower by a rapidly widening margin and soon will be larger than both the US and EU combined. Right behind them now is also India who has a hyper-accelerating economy that is expected to overcome the US within a decade.
This sort of stuff is likely giving the establishment in DC nightmares because it all effectively spells the end of US dominance... unless. And that "unless" part is what I *really* don't want to see. Biden will be useless as a president because his mental faculties are clearly already on the way out. And he's going to required to pick a VP probably based more on race/gender than on ability. And that VP, who will likely become the president if Biden wins, is likely going to be more interested in identity politics than in actually stopping us from getting into a war from which we may never extricate ourselves, certainly not favorably. Just feels like we may be looking at the beginning of the war with Eastasia. Though of course all such documents of the future will recognize we've always truly been at war with Eastasia.
If we had a genuine anti-war liberal, especially one who didn't play identity politics so much, I'd vote for them in a heart beat - but given our current scenario, I am thinking I will likely suck it up and give a vote to the orange man.

When he *did* decide to free the slaves (Emancipation Proclamation) it only applied to those within areas in revolt against the US government.
That his goals weren't the current ones doesn't keep him from being a hero, but he wasn't the particular hero you're trying to make him into. Freeing the slaves was, to him, mainly a tactical maneuver in the winning of the Civil War. Yes, he thought freeing the slaves was the proper action without respect to the war, but as president he wouldn't have lifted one finger to accomplish is if the South hadn't tried to withdraw from the Union.

Mostly it was the border states [civildiscourse-historyblog.com]: Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland had the vast majority, with West Virginia a distant fourth. Aside from that, there were maybe a couple thousand in Delaware, and a handful in New Jersey and in the various Western territories.
Overall, according to the 1860 census, there were roughly 450,000 slaves in Union states and territories, out of about 4 million in the entire U.S. In other words, the Emancipation Proclamation left roughly 11-12% of the total slaves in the pre-Civil War U.S. enslaved in Union areas because Lincoln couldn't afford to piss off people in the border states and ruin their economies in the middle of the war. And of course, slaves in the South weren't really "freed" by a law that was passed by a "foreign government" to them at the time, so only places where the army liberated slaves were they truly freed (unless they escaped themselves from the South).
