But Brian loses twenty points for the line about “the right” and Obama. Why do you insist on throwing these weak, worthless jabs into your posts?

Ok I apologize. My point was obtuse and badly made.
It seems to me like many Americans now are so ashamed of the history of slavery that they want to argue that it was not about slavery but about states rights.[/quote]
And why are we so ashamed of it? Because we have had years of people using racism to divide and conquer. Slavery almost always comes up in these discussions and teachings in school like previously mentioned. Most white people have been thought or preached at to harbor some sort of “white guilt” even though none of us today had anything to do with slavery. Apparently, we are still suppose to have some responsibility for the actions of generations so far back I can’t even count. This is a whole separate topic we don’t have time to go into.
