Things are up in the air as to whether Eve Carson's ancestor's were savage slave owners. This is an update and follow-up to my previous post: Busted, Eve Carson's Family Slave Owners?

The answer as to whether the family of the stunningly beautiful and exceptionally talented UNC student Eve Carson, killed in an alleged robbery last week, owned slaves may be answered. We received the correspondence published above from a source identifying herself only as Laura stating Eve’s grandparents moved to Athens in the 1950s or 1960s and, thus, could not be related to the slave owner cited in the Clarke-Onconee Geneological Society’s publication citing the names of slave owners in Athens named Walter Carson. Beyond the issue of whether Carson’s family once owned slave, though, we’re still faced with question of whether Carson was part of an alleged society of UNC affluent whites who participated in the new game that’s reportedly sweeping college campuses across the country: Privileged White Flaunt.
