Seriously, we keep saying that "we" as in personally didn't have a slave. But most of our families had nothing to do with slavery. And what if my family died in the civil war to free the slaves? What if my family migrated here legally in the 40's and really had nothing to do with slavery? What if I don't feel guilty for shit? What if black people should stop celebrating Africa for selling their families into slavery. What if people should appreciate that if history didn't happen the way it happened none of us would be here

Yep, absolutely no slave-owner blood in my family history AFAIK.
Whatever legacy of slavery was tehre, it was cleansed in the civil war. Period.
