I'll second that. I'm sick and tired of the descendents of
the slaves demanding recompense (in whatever form) from the
descendents of the slave owners. Were you personally enslaved?
Were you personally a slave owner? I thought not. Remember the
past, yes, but get over it.



None of the above. My maternal ancestors came over during the Potato
Famine to Massachusetts. It's safe to assume they didn't own anybody. My
paternal grandparents came here from Austria in 1920. hey didn't own
anyone either. Given those facts, I don't believe I owe anyone ****.

The Poles abused my grandfather; he hated them. Do I hate Poles? Hell,
no. What have they ever done to *me*? Nothing. What's in the past is in
the past. If it were a part of my own life experience, I might hold a
grudge. But it isn't... so I don't.

People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson latch onto issues like this to
cover their personal lack of achievement.

They latch onto issues such as this to keep the race card alive and well.
If the race issues go away they are out of a job. Their goal is to make
things worse not better.
