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".

I havent seen any attacks on your ancestors or anyone elses.
What has been attacked (I would prefer to say addressed) is the 200+ years (heritage?) of systemic institutional discrimination and racism....that still have carry-over effects.
Why is that so hard to understand?
