I am white and I am not sorry, for anything. I can trace my family back to 1600’s and we never owned a slave.
But you WANTED to, didn’t you!!!!
You’re white. Most slave owners were white, so that is all the connection that a Social Justice Warrior needs in order to paint you as a horrible, evil bigot.
I'm white and my family did own slaves. But that is STILL not MY fault.
They can still kiss my rebel ass!
Same here. No apologies coming from me or my family.
I think the Democrat Plantation ought to say sorry.
“I am white and I am not sorry, for anything. I can trace my family back to 1600’s and we never owned a slave.”
I can also trace my ancestry back to the 1600’s. There were a few slaveowners in past generations and many more non slaveholders. There were also a few ancestors who were indentured servants. The ancestors who owned slaves did not consult me on the decision to purchase slaves. Their “wealth” was completely wiped out during the Civil War and they became destitute during Reconstruction. As a result they had no wealth to pass to future generations so I did not benefit in any way from slavery. Given I wasn’t directly involved in the owning or trafficking in slaves, and there is no evidence I profited the labor of slaves, I feel no guilt. I also feel no obligation to me by descendants of those who benefited from the indentured servitude of other ancestors.
I too am white and lost members of my family fighting to Free Slaves! They were abolitionists! Hated for it too—but they lost their lives so blacks could be free—What have they done with their freedom? MLK is rolling over in his grave to see how they have abused this freedom.
