[QUOTE="rjs330, post: 77569994, member: 377008"] I believe I said that. We are responsible for what we do today. Not for what was done in the past by other people. Bearing responsibility for correcting things is not the same thing as being responsible for the thing that was done in the past. I didn't have slaves and neither did my ancestors. I'm not responsible for it. I certainly can step forward and say we need to correct that and not let it continue because we as a society has grown beyond that. Our culture came to the realization we should not do that to another human being. But EVERYONE is responsible for moving forward. Including the Africans who had slaves and sold them. They are as guilty as anyone else. And as far as I know they have. What we should be doing is noting any issues that still exist and dealing with them. And we have as a society. There is no slavery and there is no systemic racism. Now we can continue to to work on ending individual racism, but unfortunately there still are those today that wish to reinstall systemic racism. It's a shame. [/QUOTE]
