“They (white kids) should feel bad. It was terrible what happened.”
That is an interesting comment.
Should black kids feel bad about the terrible things that happened in Africa?
Didn’t the original, original sin happen in Africa?
Do they think the world would have been different had the indians or the africans had developed technology while the europeans never advanced past fire and stone tools?
Should black kids feel bad when over a dozen of them kick and beat a white lady? The difference is I can’t undo what people did 200 years ago, but they can do something about their violent culture today.
My kids have nothing to feel bad about ...
(Rant ahead) Our British ancestors were Quakers who wanted to escape religious persecution ... were persecuted in New England so they moved to the South ... opposed slavery so they moved to the Midwest (Northwest Territory entered the union with slavery specifically prohibited ...)
German ancestors came for a better life for their kids because they didn’t like how Kaiser Wilhelm was conglomerating all the independent little parts of Germany and sending all the boys off to war, who knows where ...
The ancestors built this country into a comfortable place for shallow-mindeded, poorly educated moderns to complain from.
And finally, the Bible says the sins of the fathers are not visited on their children. Everyone is responsible for THEIR own sin.
Just because I am a ginger, I am not responsible for bringing 300,000+ slaves to this country.
If I were Latino, I would likewise not be responsible for MILLIONS of slaves who ended up in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Notice which countries or cultures ended slavery a couple hundred years ago and which cultures still practice it?
(Rant over. Sorry)
