Nigger 'slave descendant' sues Harvard over pics of her alleged great-great-great nigger slave grandpa

[Whitey Ford]

A descendant of an American slave on Wednesday sued Harvard University to gain possession of photos of her great-great-great grandfather that the school commissioned in 1850 on behalf of a professor trying to prove the inferiority of black people.
The photos, depicting a black man named Renty and his daughter Delia, were taken as part of a study by Harvard Professor Louis Agassiz and are among the earliest known photos of American slaves. They are currently kept at the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnography at Harvard’s Cambridge, Massachusetts campus.

Tamara Lanier of Norwich, Connecticut, who claims to be the great-great-great-granddaughter of Renty, accused Harvard of celebrating its former professor who studied “racist pseudoscience” and profiting from photos that were taken without Renty and his daughter’s consent.
“What I hope we’re able to accomplish is to show the world who Renty is,” Lanier said at a news conference in New York. “I think this case is important because it will test the moral climate of this country and force this country to reckon with its long history of racism.”

That negress looks like an orangutan.
Science, through testing of the races, does show niggers are mentally inferior. Europeans and Asians simply put niggers into their place as low IQ beings, so it is not pseudoscience. So what if that bitch's great grand pappy was a slave, it was the truth. I hope the courts rule photos belong to Harvard and dismiss the suit.

"What I hope we’re able to accomplish is to show the world who Renty is."
Like we give a fuck about him?
I bet these daguerreotypes haven't been looked at in seventy five years, apart from by her and her lawyers.
She is desperate for attention and money.

Throw it out of court for this reason here. She will never be able to prove there was no consent or compensation for the photos.

Bingo!

Lanier, who filed the lawsuit in Middlesex County Superior Court in Massachusetts, established her relationship to the photographed slaves with family oral history and genealogical information, her lawyers said.

Bullshit. Maybe 3 in 10 niggers today know their pappies, so you see the statistical impossibility of knowing a nigger progenitor five generations back.

This is just TNB to get the photos, then offer to sell them back for six figures.

Prove your heritage, bitch. That's just not possible. Oral tradition, well your great 5x grand pappy nigger Popeye and his pops Kunta isn't proof enough. And these photos are owned by who commissioned them, even though it was for whatever purpose they were for. Maybe they even belong in the public domain. And who wants to know a nigger's life and history? It's all about oppression, booze, a little work, muh-dikk, escape, back to bondage, then whipping. Might as well watch Roots or some 12 Years a Slave.

All we know you're not a human, you're a nigger.

No consent was required. The nigger was property and the owner could do as they damn well pleased with it.

Damn Skippy ^^^^^

When you stand a 50/50 shot at knowing who your father is, what are the odds he knew who his father was?

Then, 4-5 generations back any written record is all but nonexistent. Not like there were family scribes or genealogy experts in the hood a hundred years ago.

Then to go further back, during slavery...no one knew how to read or write and more often than not, any birth records were commonly scratched into wall in the slave quarters. Probably, every bit as primitive as cave paintings.

Add to all of that the MASSIVE inbreeding in slave populations and any claim of lineage is as porous as a screen door on a submarine.

Nigger please!
