It's a non-sequitur, as I've never - and will never - own a slave.
Most whites are not even guilty of any real crime against Blacks. My ancestors didnt do squat against Blacks. While they were working on plantations, my ancestors were poor peasants in Ukraine. Then when they got here, they had to work under terrible conditions in the coal mines of Pennsylvania; and my great-grandfather was even killed in an industrial accident.
So, what exactly do I have to be guilty of? Im proud of my ancestors, as any decent person should be. They were hard-working and didn't own slaves.
To attack an entire race and its heritage over the actions of a few is the epitome of bigotry. Liberals would never tolerate the same kinds of accusations and slanders if directed at anyother race. Please note the irony.
In fact if any group has suffered more in America is recent times, it's working class whites, or as Ruy A. Teixeira calls them, "America's Forgotten Majority".
