Well using that same logic, then I guess we can't blame black people for holding a grudge against white people.
I totally agree with you, SamAdams, that statement above by the other poster is illogical. His tirade against our Japanese friends is uncalled for, and actually betrays a skewed and narrow perspective of the trajectory of history.
OK, let’s see. You are making an equivalence argument for the beef black people have about slavery to the beef Americans (some of us) have against Tojo and the Japs for the unprovoked and murderous and cowardly attack on the US and the torture of US servicemen.
I might point out that white people gave their lives, and took other white mens lives (about 700,000 of them) to free the slaves.
But, OK, I get where you are coming from.
