I am sure they STILL think about it and wonder to this very day.Or the African slaves forced into slavery in America . Did they insist,after the Civil War the White Man prove he was a responsible citizen after enslaving them.After all , they were only granted citizenship after fighting a war that torn the US apart .Seems to me these people have a bone to pick also but, I don't hear them planning to run " Whitey" out of town on a rail with tar and feathers .Or burn their churches or their Bibles .Oh yeah , that was the White man that did those things to them, huh ?on the edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587819346285495087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919835247803556930.post-9383589725046748962010-08-22T22:07:12.966+02:002010-08-22T22:07:12.966+02:00History's pages are filled with tragic episode...History's pages are filled with tragic episodes of the "righteous" oppressing minorities.
