Why aren't blacks proud of their history and what they have overcome? I would believe anyone whose ancestors came here in slavery but have moved past oppression should be proud of what they have accomplished in such a short period of time. Good, bad or indifferent your history is your history and I don't understand trying to wipe the past away

620,000 dead, 1,100,000 casualties was the cost to
free the slaves. Who owes who?

Hard for me to sympathize with any American b&tching about the past given how much of the rest of the world wold LOVE to be here at all.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Slavery didn't begin in America and probably not with blacks.
They Jews were slaves thousands of years ago do they still hold that against Egyptian's?
Roman Empire had slaves, some of those were undoubtly of European ancestry.
This whole slavery concept is BS.
Get over it already!

There are a number of politicans, a whole political party, a few churches,and at least one TV star that profit from telling them they are victims. If they refused to be victims then how could they claim guilt money from whites?

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Get over it already! This^^^. 300,000 Irishmen and no telling how many orphans of the British Isles were sold into slavery by the King of England and shipped here.

Brits and their progeny were none too kind to the Indians (sub-continental Asian variety), or Chinese, either. Them f'kers succeed like crazy, and ain't lying around whining about great-great-great-half-granddad.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
