"Laurent was born in the early 1700s in Paris, France, into an aristocratic but financially embarrassed family during the reign of King Louis XIV."

Does anybody else think it's weird that a black family could be part of the aristocracy in France in the 1700s? When everybody used the word "negro" to speak about a black person, when they were transported to Europe and America and traded as objects to work for white people as slaves?
