How many of our troubles today stem from that stain upon our nation?

I don't know. In 64 years I never met a slave, never talked to a slave, and never knew anyone who owned a slave.
I have never seen anyone that had starved to death lying on the street nor have I seen anyone hanged or tared and feathered. I have seen some racial hate crimes but under todays laws I think most are caught and punished. Also I have observed that racial hate crimes are committed by all races and in general are a way of blaming someone else for their under achievement. I feel neither guilt nor shame or responsible for someones else's actions that were committed before my generation was born. I a responsible for my own actions and do not feel that I have any stain what so ever.
