180. I disagree with all you said.
My point was that you wish blacks to forget their sad history while others celebrate theirs, no matter how infamous. No one is blaming just the United States for slavery but African American ancestors were brought to America and it was Americans who enslaved them and treated them horribly. I have absolutely no opposition to seeking reparations from every country involved in the slave trade. However it is this country that enslaved millions and denied equal opportunity to their descendants. As I said in an earlier post, this oppression was sanctioned by the state and it is the state that should pay.
