County Cork. Second generation American. My father worked in a flour mill. Where is my blame for slavery in America?

My Irish ancestors came before the Civil War. I guess we need to repent for those ancestors who fought and died in the war to abolish slavery. Do the blacks in Africa who sold their neighbors into slavery owe me a shoe shine? If not for those black slavers this country wouldn’t be dealing with the burden of supporting most of the rioting BLM scum and the generations of worthless black welfare bums.

Since collective guilt is evidently the in thing these days, you ought to sue the UK for how they handled the Great Famine. As I’m sure you know, the British government behaved terribly.

My poor Irish ancestors came here from England in 1912. I damn sure don’t owe anybody anything!

Mine came FRom debtor prison to Savannah with Oglethorpe.

“On June 9, 1732, the crown granted a charter to the Trustees for Establishing the Colony of Georgia. Oglethorpe himself led the first group of 114 colonists on the frigate Anne, landing at the site of today’s Savannah on February 1, 1733. The original charter banned slavery and granted religious freedom, leading to the foundation of a Jewish community in Savannah.” (https://oglethorpe.edu/about/history-traditions/james-edward-oglethorpe/)

I do not owe ANY black a damn thing!

It MIGHT be a CONTENT OF CHARACTER THING!
