The whole idea of universally blaming whites for slavery is bankrupt at its core, and I'm sorry the author of this piece didn't bring that up. For the entire history of the United States, a large majority of whites was opposed to slavery and all it entailed for blacks. That's why the damned Civil War was fought.

Dennis Prager is a moral relativist, philospher in my opinion... however I like his taste in fine pens. Anyway, you are right that it is a morally bankrupt concept. You don't even have to bring up the Civil War. Today most white people, if they had family here, are GENERATIONS removed from slavery. Also, I think many white people come from recent immigrant stock like myself.

Lincoln repeatedly said it was to "Preserve the Union", but what would he know?
