GOP Candidate Shares Clip Denying Atlantic Slave Trade [View all]

A Republican candidate in Georgia has shared a clip that describes the Atlantic Slave Trade as “fake history.”

Stephanie Donegan, who is running to represent Atlanta’s northern exurbs in the state Senate, shared the conspiratorial clip in June, a screen recording captured by Meidas Touch reveals.

Instead, the clip claims without evidence that the ancestry of most Black Americans is Native American. This contradicts the widely accepted record that the majority of Black people in America—especially those in the south, where Donegan is running for office—are descendants of African slaves.

“I have no African descendants in my blood. I’m a Native American. So literally, I’m a Cherokee. I’m a Blackfoot. I’m a Red Tail Indian,” says Flocka, who was raised in Atlanta but was born in New York City.
