I think you are way off.

SLavery is a totally different topic but since you brought it up....


My opinion on slavery is that it was over 100 years ago. No one in this era has owned slaves.

I do think it was wrong, and one of mankinds worst atrocities, but that doesnt mean just BLACK slaves, that means slaves everywhere. SPanish, White, African, etc. It was all wrong.

As far as Americans role in slavery, there was a CIVIL war fought over it.

No one in this age should be SORRY, im not sorry because i never had slaves, how can i be sorry for something that happened over 100 years ago? I dont agree with it, but it happened over a century ago. this is the type of thinking that keeps the Islamics hating and fighting the jews. They dont even know why they hate each other, they just do.

I think America is pretty damn close to being an equal society. I think there is some petty thinking (on both sides) that keep the slavery topic still around when it shouldnt be. We should have moved past this along time ago.

I dont owe anyone reparations anymore than i owe the native americans anything.

And if you want to be really factual, Africans have been enslaving their own centuries before the white man ever stepped foot on their continent.

So, no, i dont owe any african american and apology or anything else because i didnt own slaves, my father didnt, my grandfather didnt, his father didnt, etc.

As much as i disagree with him, i think its great that in this day in age we see women and a black man running for president. Look how far we have come. that is something to be POSITIVE about, not negative.
