My boss, who is black and worth several million, still has this mentality as well. I don’t get it. He could buy everything I own three times over and still be loaded, and he still holds that resentment.

On one hand, I realize that slavery was a horrible evil that cannot be forgotten.

On the other hand, so were a lot of things that happened in Europe way before this continent was settled by the Pilgrims.

And furthermore, nobody alive today in the US has either been a slave, or owned one.

I understand that less than 7% of all whites in the South owned slaves, yet, most rallied to start a Civil War. Therefore, the only thing one can make sense of, is that more than 93% fought for 'states rights', not slavery.
