i find it hard to believe after war destroyed all property in the south, that someone thinks that those people stayed rich and it was because of slavery. and nobody owes anyone for slavery. i did not own slaves, therefore i don't owe anyone for it. here's an idea. how about everyone stop being so prejudiced and ignorant and treat each other with respect...hmmm? that would make up for the past mistakes and horrors committed by our ancestors....all of them!
