Unlike Spike Lee, my ancestry had nothing to do with slave owning from either side.

I’m tired of being blamed for an institution the Africans fed, the Muslims brokered, and the Brits funded.

Yes, slavery is BAD. We know this. Christians were the only ones who actually worked to end it. I’m a Christian.

Leave me alone now!

I can claim all of what you ppsted about slavery, plus one: My ancestor voluntarily spent four years away from his family risking his life on the Civil War’s bloodiest battlefields to end it. I owe Spike Lee nothing.
