Slaves To Ignorance

AITOOW wonders how many Americans should feel guilty over slavery? My parents weren't here and their countries didn't do it. How many people living here now had ancestors here before the Civil War? And how many of those owned slaves? I think we are talking about ten percent of the population. At most. And yet the blacks paint us with the same brush. I guess it isn't as compelling a story when we factor in the truth. A large percentage of Americans did nothing to them and owe them nothing.
