Here's my contribution in a nutshell...neither I nor *any* of my ancestors were involved in slavery in *any* way,nor were they involved in the KKK or any other similar organization.I can prove this claim with birth certificates (American and European) as well as census records and other documents.

Therefore I accept no responsibility whatsoever for any injustices that some people here may have experienced.

Don't come from a Democrat family, then?

I have zero guilt about slavery as well. My family, like that of many Caucasians, did not even ARRIVE in this country until the 20th century, and then to the Northeast. They worked the crap jobs immigrants usually do, and each succeeding generation did a little bit better - though I am not sure that will be true for my children and their children. I am tired of racists acting like every white person is the direct descendent of an evil plantation owner and born with a silver spoon in his mouth. My son has said as much when asked if he doesn’t feel guilty for 400 years of slavery. He responds as I have written, that he had nothing to do with it, and suddenly the accuser, shocked, goes silent like the cat has his tongue. The racists are used to cowing people and are unprepared for push-back.

If by chance you see a gang of African American youths heading in your (or your families) direction, looking like they're angry about something be sure you tell tell them that....although I would feel better about your chances of good communication if you also had a loaded rifle in your hands.
