Yep, my family are those post industrialized era immigrants that came to the U.S. and worked their asses off to purchase a few small plots of land that they grew into a successful, multi-generational family farm. Slavery had been abolished for almost 80 years by the time we got here, yet somehow people like us are responsible for the sins of someone else's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddaddy for nothing more than the color of our skin. Not that descendants of slave owners are responsible either for that matter.
