The name of the deceased indicates that he was a groid.

 
the article I read said he was a Byrd
I don't know what a groid is, somekind of Byrd ???

 
Elijah be a mo'fo'. Byrd was a prominent VA name, Admiral Byrd, etc.
Groids grabbed onto that name.

Sort of.  The paternity of slave childern wasn't important, even to them, if
it were known.  They were simply "children of the plantation" and given the
name of the owner.

Proving that Blacks may have been wiser than Whites of the period.  Most
whites came here willingly, suffered unspeakable hardships en route, then
after serving a 5+ year indenture (think slavery) they were turned out into
the wilderness to enjoy the "free" land .... after they'd taken it away from
the natives (Indians) who were known to have objected rather forcefully.

So at least now we know what Walt means when he uses that term.

Condolences to Rev. Byrd's family.

And our heartfelt wishes that the lone remaining brain cell inside
Walt's skull isn't getting too lonely...
