I'm not racist. I've never owned slaves. I've never lynched anyone. I've never kept anyone from voting. I've never treated anyone differently because of race, gender (cept for dating, there I make a gender coice) or creed. I've not kept anyone down....and yet people like me are still expected to be apologists for the sins of our fathers.

Spot on. And what's worse, people like me, who's great great great grandparents lived on a different continent during that time and took no part in such racist behavior are ALSO expected to be apologists. THAT's what pisses me off.
