@Rilka You seem to be very unclear and misguided on this topic so will do my best to enlightening you. Your obsession with " you Americans " is quite strange. For your information America wasn't the only country to have slaves. Basically almost every region of the world had slavery. So please do not forget them and tell them to " deal with your history ", I'm not sure what your ethnicity is but I'm about 95% slavery went down wherever your from. Also telling people who clearly are not a fan of their history and using that against them is quite idiotic. It's like your saying they had a part in slavery and trust me I'm about 99.999% non of these people had a direct hand in slavery. It's like blaming a child for a murder because their great granpda was a murderer.....quite a stupid thing when you think of it.
