To be honest, I don't understand why people let what happened to distant family members they have never met bother them. I get that it was a terrible time and that people were slaves. I'm not arguing that. I just don't get why people hold onto it. I mean, I am not still mad at the British for overly taxing and oppressing my relatives hundreds of years ago. Grants they weren't slaves in the traditional sense but slaves to their masters none the less and oppression is still oppression. No offense intended. I just don't get it and I probably never will.
