What do you mean, sins of the fathers? A family member of mine lost his life freeing the slaves. Another family member took a family of former slaves home with him to the north, found them a home and a job, and I noticed in the 1880 census that they were still living across the street from my grandparents. Don’t tell me about guilt!
I completely agree with you. The problem is with that intent to cast guilt on descendants solely because of their color; not to actually assign rightful blame. It is racism of the worst kind.
It is the primary reason why ‘diversity training’ is complete bullshit.
The underlying reason falls into the line about “the slave dreams not of being free, but of being master.”
Yep, I have two relatives that fought for the north on a monument in Vicksburg. This is one more reason the war between north and south should never have been fought. I’ve never heard an African offer even a sliver of gratitude.
