My father and mother were born in New Amsterdam just like me. But my grandma is a slave. She was born as a Yoruba in 1647 in Nigeria. The Dutch took her on the Gideon to the new land /America. She was shipped over in 1664 and sold to be a house cleaner. She had my father in 1667 when she was 20. The slave master was my father’s father. That's why my father has light skin and is free.
