I won't apologize for slavery!
Fuck Yall,a modern day redneck!Edward:biggrin1:
I could answer some of the questions, but WTF. all that is in the past. I owe no black person an apology. my German ancestors came to the US in the late 1840's and 1870's. we owned no slaves. we learned to speak English. we struggled. my fraternal side of my family, worked in Boston, Toledo, and Chicago. my maternal side farmed the Nebraska dirt. "if it is to be, it is up to me.", is the family motto. LEARN from the past but don't LIVE in the past. I believe everyone should have a equal chance to succeed, but you have to be a willing participant and work your ass off. I thank my grandmother, my dad's mom, for investing money back in the 20's, 30's in the stock market, and for my father doing the same. my folks passed away and left my brother and I a nice nest egg. I worked 30 yrs and got a nice nest egg pension. put the 2 together and retired in my 50's. I grew up lower middle class, some things we had, some things we did not. I quickly learned if I wanted something, I had to get it myself. I stayed in school, my brother and I both have college degrees. He had a sports scholarship, and I worked and put myself thru college. BTW, I am white(obvious). I have found that 2 words are most important in ALL OF OUR LIVES......Respect & Responsibility. You get out of life what you put in it. "garbage in, garbage out", the old early computer theory. Bill Cosby was so fucking right a few years ago, when he said, get an education, learn to speak english and not all the ghetto hip-hop, rap crap. be employable so you can grab your own boot straps and pull your own ass up the ladder. I have a black friend from college, who started with nothing, has worked hard, has a good family. climbed the corporate ladder with a couple different companies. we talked about all this back in the 70's when we were in college. I'm proud of him and he of me.
Maybe I don't know much.But I know enough to be sick of being blamed for things I did not do.
I am sick of hearing about the past, when the future is so more important.

Why would we shoot you? Now if you tell me you don't know how to do the electric slide, you might wanna sleep wit' one eye open.:biggrin1::tongue::wink:
Sorry I didn't get your specific reason for the post.
It seems many people have the same view, why worry about things you can't change.
I for one don't see the need to know so much about the past.
I bet the american indians would like there land back too but is that ever gonna happen.
Implying that to be perfect I would need to know all about your history - I have to say I know very little of your history. One thing I do know however is that the history of slavery does not begin or end with the history of black America.
