Once again, making your sample a totality of a larger sample.
So, and my X wife is Japanese but you don't see me making excuses for dropping bombs on Heroshima and Nagasaki. You don't see me making excuses for Japanese internment during the war.
I don't care that you have a black wife. Kap is black too, and Thena here is black too. So why don't you have your black wife join and argue with Thena.
If the Civil war had nothing to do with slavery then why did one side fight to keep it? THAT is fucking nonsense.
IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS about slavery. The Whites of the South were SLAVE OWNERS. And the fact that we still have asshole KKK members today pointing to that history crying they are a superior race TODAY says to me the value of that horrible history is still here.
"I don't do it" is a cop out. Nobody is saying you are responsible. But if your argument is "I didn't do it" or "I have a black wife", is bullshit.
If there is group who needs to "get over it" it wouldn't be blacks, it would be the fuckface assholes who want to defend icons to a horrible history.
