My Own White Guilt

[brtmchl]

Kate, I assure you this thread was not aimed at you, but in full disclosure was created because of a discussion that you were involved in. One that just got me thinking, and that is what discussions should do. I just wanted to open a discussion about the divisive topic of slavery that still haunts our society. How we use it politically and socially and as to whether we can't heal because we are not allowed too. The disclosure of my family was an attempt to show that I am not afraid of being targeted by people that use racial attacks often for personal reasons. The past is the past, and no corner of the world is immune from their own involvement.

I'm sorry if you thought this was an attack towards you. It wasn't. I just wanted to say I am done with political correctness, I am done being closed lipped on topics just because it may make people uncomfortable. I will speak my mind and as long as I have facts, a well thought out argument and respect for the person I am speaking to, then society should not have a problem. Especially when others raise the question but do not want to hear the response.
This is a topic that should be discussed.
