Creepy Documents

Somebody went through and dug up documents about Al Sharpton's ancestors being bought and sold. Generally speaking I'm a fan of people doing primary source research and then posting it on the web [you mean posting simple summaries of the primary source material that you couldn't dig up and read yourself. I outsource. you're CEO material.]. Having said that... this is a bit too creepy.

• If he wanted to know how his parents were bought and sold he probably does. He's not poor.
• If he knew and wanted to tell people then he's more than capable of making his own press. If not, isn't it his own business. Why bring it up in such detail?
• Is this really a "hot document"? He's a black American; generally speaking most have ancestors who were slaves. If he hadn't looked it up, would you really want to open the paper and read about how your great-great...-great grand aunt was sold at age 4 to some guy to cover debts?

[aren't you creepy for thinking about it in this sort of detail. The creepy was inflicted upon me. I'm just sharing.]
