Many of today’s Americans (both Black & White) had ancestors that immigrated to the US after the Civil War. Many of today’s Americans (again both Black & White) immigrated here after the Civil Rights movement. Not one American alive today has at one time owned slaves nor been a slave in the US, maybe elsewhere, but not in the US. If some throwback has enslaved people, they should be alive & well in prison.

Now we can bring into the discussion the other non-white & non-Black peoples that live in the US. Are they also responsible?

I read an article that says some of Obama’s white ancestors owned slaves. Does he pay as well as anyone similarly situated? We need to aim & work toward the future.

There are very real & current problems that need fixing.
