You're right, it's not the 1800's anymore. Enough with the excuses. You nor anyone you have ever known was a slave. Get over it already. African American? I guess if you are not proud to be black then it fits. Myself, I have no issues with my color, or lack thereof. I don't expect or want anyone to call me Irish American. Exactly what 'Change is coming"? Are you going to stop whining about events that took place years ago? Sorry but if you're not a fed up white American, this post is not for you.
