Another minor note. Not condoning or justifying slavery in any way, but if it were not for slavery, most African Americans would not EXIST. The very people who complain about past sins ("America's Original Sin") would not be alive in some desolate village in West Africa; they would not exist at all!

All in all, whether they like it or not, they owe their very existence to the despicable practice of slavery. They are not alone in this, of course. All of us have in our genealogies, crimes, some caused in war, some not, that for better or ill, led to our being here.
