Excuses...
I do believe slavery was wrong, and should never have happened. However, I never owned slaves, so I can't honestly say I'm sorry for it. I noticed at my school, in math class, that some African-American students believe that they have the right to go before the "whities", because their ancestors were slaves of our ancestors. In my opinion, this needs to stop. If you were never a slave, then you should not be complaining about why you have been suffering so much because of it. This doesn't mean slavery wasn't wrong; it just means that you should shut up about how we are such bad people because of what people did hundreds of years ago. And of course, I am not talking to African-Americans in general. I am merely referring to those who feel the right to call me "whitie" and assume that I am a racist because of my ancestors. And the worst part is that everybody seems to think that this is okay, and just take the comments in stride. After all, what happened 200 years ago relates to us in SO many ways, right? Basically, what I'm saying is, everybody is equal. If you want that to be true, act like it is, or we get all that war back again.
