"When are American blacks going to say "thankyou" to the thousands of whites who lost their lives trying to end slavery?"I'm not holding my breath.Hope you aren't either:)

African Americans do not owe white people anything. I will not debate the issue of the Commonwealth owing African Americans an apology, however I will say this: The senator believes African American should simply get over it.Individuals which share these opinions please get over it. African Americans did not choose to be thrown into slavery so they should not apologize to white people for undoing an injustice they started. If African Americans are expected to let it go then you let it go by realizing that the thoughts and treatment of African Americans in the past were based on pure ignorance and unfortunately today that ignorance is still present. Possibly, if people did not continue to exhibit such ignorant, prejudice behavior there would not be a need to continue to deal with racial issues but as long as there are closed minded people in the world the race issue will exist. We are all created by God, no one greater than he, for you are no better than I nor I any better than you.
