How dare you! Are you implying that anyone in the north was anything besides pure and innocent in the slavery era? You must report to reeducation camp to be able to understand that it was 100% from the south, and that everyone north of the future Mason-Dixon line was always horrified and refused to profit from slavery. And they treated black as brothers and friends... oh wait./s
Mr. Rhino, your ideas are sadly out of date. In today’s world, every white person, born and yet to be born is guilty for the crimes of the slavery era. Even if your ancestors immigrated to this country after slavery ended—you are guilty and should be willing and happy to pay reparations to those who share skin color with the slaves—even those like the last President whose father and his father’s father were still in Africa when slavery ended.
On a side note, I happen to have a tintype of a black man. Is it no longer mine?
