Slavery apology GET OVER IT!!!
This is my response to the slavery apology debate. The entire story is below.
First of all, let me start by saying I’m part black, so don’t call me a redneck racist. My take is that for every black person living in America today slavery was a good thing. You would not be here today if it weren’t for slavery. Do you honestly know anything about Africa today? Would you really rather be living there right now? Would you really like to live in a hut and have AIDS?
Have you ever met your ancestors who were slaves? Why should anyone apologize to anyone who is living today for things that happened hundreds of years ago? History is full of wars and invasions and genocides. It’s been going on since the beginning of time. Why do black people in this country feel they need special recognition for bad things that happened to people they didn’t even know?
