I am not apologizing for anything, my family never owned slaves. I wasn't alive back then and had no hand in supporting slavery. In fact my maternal bunches of great grandfather came to America as an indentured servant. I guess I should demand some kind of restitution for hardship he endured. I demand that the name "America" be changed because of his servitude.
