Not saying anyone today should be blamed .... However those that want to share in the pride of their past should also be willing to share in the shame ...

Yeah, fuck those recovering heroin addicts, amirite?

Your comparison doesn't work your comparing a state of victimhood (addiction ) To a state of exploiting other people (slavery). And as a person who has counselled addicts and has lost people to addiction I find your comparison simply awful.

But don't the same government institutions that normalized slavery deserve at least some credit for ending it, particularly given the heavy public opposition to doing so?

IDK.

Does a rapist deserve "credit" when they stop sexually violating you, yet happily follow you around town while slapping you upside the head and generally making your life HELL in other ways?

Lol..Not really, IMO.
Is a man who beats his wife given credit for stopping it

Ok, so ALL those Radical Republicans who voted, who lobbied, who - quite frankly - used whatever political dirty tricks they could get away with to end chattel slavery in the US were not being virtuous? 

Come on.

Not especially.
Definitely no, if he spends the next 100 years or so refusing to let her go outside unaccompanied, berating her in public, restricting her diet "Just cuz", and breaking everything she owns. Wink

The other options being that you were actually a black slave at some point in your life or that you had been commissioned by some agency to do extensive research on slavery in America and have been named an expert on the topic.  'Cause there is nothing that has ever happened in the history of ever that you aren't a supreme authority on.

Legend in your own mind.

I'm glad you have someone to attack. You desperately need such.

This from the person who threatened to shoot me and then to save face says that I knew I was in no danger.  

Good show.
