My parents came from Sicily, the Greek side of the island. A far as I know there has never been a apology from the Greeks, the Africans, the Romans, the Spaniards, the German, the Vikings of different locations, the Normans, the French, the Italians, Arabs, Saracens or anybody else who invaded, pillaged, raped and generally disabused the indigenous people, at whatever the time period. I know a good many blacks that are better than I am and and a good many who are a piece of S... and a good many that I do not know enough about to comment on. If any one says “You owe me.” I say FU and your history, it would not make a pimple tribulations of my Sicilian ancestors, much less the Civil War soldiers who fought and died to free you.
