Awww, you guys have such fond memories. My relatives were being attacked by dogs, assaulted with water hoses and they had to sit at the back of the bus, and enter the back of restaurants. Also, 2 of my uncles were lynched.

Yeah right, whatever!

I’m glad you posted this. You are so mad at the world that you can’t even contribute to a “memories” post without bringing up race. Are you mad at just the slave owners(only 10% owned slaves) or are you mad at your ancestors for selling them?

There are those who wish to be victims, and those who don’t. You can’t help those who do.

And some of mine walked the Trail of Tears. What’s your point?

How many years ago was that? My DAD was not allowed to ride in the front of the bus, and two of my uncles were lynched in the 60s.

So what? Sounds like you came out of it pretty clean. Concentrate on that, maybe?

Sorry about your uncles. As for your Dad, you weren’t even an itch in his pants in the ‘60’s. But, you’ve taken his seat at the back of the bus voluntarily.

As for the Trail of Tears, read a little. Educate yourself instead of feeling like you’re owed something.
