Brandon, I don’t think anything can be said to a people whose ancestors were never demoralized as a people as the blacks are. When you don’t see behind the scenes your conclusion is to minimize when incidents of slavery activities were hidden by officials and historians. Mrs Recy Taylors’ rape, for instance. The men confessed to the crime, but the jury acquitted the white men. Though slavery was over at the time that incident happened, it still proves the mind set of the white institution. It’s true you were never a slave owner nor was I a slave. But things were related to me by people whose ancestors had related to them. We can’t forget. Do you ask the Jews to forget. Did you know White men tied down black women in shacks and had their dogs to have sex with them. The man who told me that was never a slave, but he weeped like a baby when he told this. Some of the women went crazy others killed themselves. You will never read that any where. And just because it can’t be proven does not mean it did not happened. My grandfather in the 1940′s was shot down by the Sheriff and his little posse because “they wanted to shut that n……. mouth!” He was talking about civil rights. They took my grandmother into woods . What they did to my grandmother she would never tell. They ran her out of town. My mother’s father’s shirt riddled through by multiple bullet wounds was kept for years by my father and he showed it to me. Also, the 40 acres and a mule all the black families did not get because the ‘ kkk’ went into action and killed any blacks who tried to make a claim. That too, is why so many Black Americans are angry. But I am of the belief that one day you will be slaves but not by the Black Americans, we love you. We fight in wars with you then you make up with your enemies and welcome them to America and we, therefore, have another race looking down on us. You make sure of that. A girl I know is married into another race, not white. Her husband had called in a contractor to fix something. As they struck up a friendly conversation the white guy started talking about how inferior the black race was and suddenly he looked and saw the guy’s black wife walking thru the livingroom. He nearly choked. I bet he turned red as a beet. You tell so many lies on us. All we want is to forgive and move on. Can’t you see it’s you too who won’t let us. Not all you ,but many.
