Ok, I'm done here. Read up on the subject and try having some compassion.
They jumped off the ships rather than live a life of cruel enslavement. Their children were likely already separated from them on the ships.
They didn't exactly leave voluntarily, do you know anything about the Atlantic slave trade?
I believe he was speaking in more general terms, they were his ancestors in a broader sense. But if you want a literal explanation, if they had children before they died, that's how.
I know this is an old thread, but just watched it and someone says, "There's gold in them thar hills." Near as I can tell, this expression was first used by Matthew Fleming Stephenson (1802–1882), an American miner, geologist, and mineralogist from Georgia, US. In trying to discourage people from heading west for the 1849 Gold Rush, he said this referring to the Georgia hills, hoping to convince folks they could find gold closer to home. So it seems pretty certain this wasn't coined until the late 1840s.
He said he had a speech impediment.
O Brother Where Art Thou!
Watched this again yesterday--4/20!--and for the first time two things occurred to me about the title:
1) It is a play on The Big Sleep (as another pointed out)
2) The other Lebowski, the rich one, could be referred to as the "big" Lebowski.
I think it's a fine title!
I just watched this last night on Disney+ and they have dubbed out the "bad" language so it's "Don't fool with the babysitter" etc. So disappointing.
The show was already called "The Girly Show," with Jenna as the star. So when they were forced to bring on Tracy, they changed it to "TGS with Tracy Jordan." I like how "TGS" mimics "SNL."
