Granted slavery was a bad thing, but think about where most of these black Americans would be today, if not for being born in the U.S. Regardless of HOW their families arrived, they should be praising God for their blessing instead blaming their failure on folks that weren't even around when their relatives were mistreated. Time for them to quit expecting everyone to feel sorry for them and stand up and be assets to America instead of deficits. No one is denying them equal rights today.
