and whose fault is it that it is talked about everyday. The black people themselves continuously try to bring it up as a crutch. A good portion of white people DO NOT CARE if blacks were slaves. But its people like you who keep trying to bring it up. [/quote]Whose fault is it? I'll use a recent example. People here and in the media are talking about how Mrs. Rice was in the segregated south. I have never heard her talk about this. Why is it ok for them to defend her with that, but it's wrong for blacks to bring up the negative side of slavery and segregation, or the ones who didn't succeed like Mrs. Rice? I don't keep 'trying to bring it up.' You asked my opinion and I gave it, willingly. -Pat
