No one has ever suggested I apologize for being white and I never would anyhow.
What about the rest of you white folks? Ever been asked to apologize for being white?
That said, I always had enough common sense to not wear or brandish or decorate with any confederate symbols.  Maybe someone would have demanded I apologize if I ever did something tone-deaf like that.

Huh? I thought you were dressing up as a BBC for Halloween. 

Stay on topic dude.

And before anyone asks, no, I do not feel responsible in any way for the actions of my ancestors.  Nor am I ashamed of it.  It's just interesting history. 

But back to the original subject, it's true there are many black people descended from slave owners, and many white people descended from slaves.

Ya, but it’s only whites that are taught to hate themselves. Generations of white children are being taught that they are evil for simply having white skin. That [BLEEP] needs to stop
