Incident at an Antique Store

[J. Beckert]

Frankly, I hope Roger will close this thread. It's given me a sick headache just reading through it.

It's the "elephant in the room", Toia. It happens every time this sensitive subject comes up. I'd bet my last dollar that not one person of Southern feeling on this forum feels that slavery was a good thing, but the current political atmosphere that demands apologies and endless weeping over an issue that ended years ago seems to prevail. We've become a nation of whiners - and that's just my personal opinion.
