What’s this guy been smoking?

My ancestors have been here in the South 200 years. I have no guilt.

And I befriend black folks because I like them, not because I owe them something different from the same respect I owe any other person.

His last paragraph had this:

“..... I think a lot of us can come to some peace, can come to understand that whatever happened to us, there are limits on what anyone can do to make it right, and while those limits have to be pushed, some of this we’re going to have to carry ourselves. And then with a even broader sense we can understand that our suffering is not singular, that it isn’t the only suffering......”

Feel sorry? Reparations? Tell that to all the families of fallen soldiers who fought for the Union. That's the cost of freedom and reparations paid. Likewise for all the Southern boys who died, never owning slaves and never aspiring to and were conscripted into service. This guy should ask himself the question: “What if the South won?” I come from a border state and lost relatives who fought for both sides. I have no guilt and would never entertain such a notion. Liberals always play to the emotions of guilt. It's there mantra.Your right, this fellow is smoking bad weed.
