#1 Speaking for myself, this white boy doesn't feel guilt about slavery. My great grandfather didn't own any slaves in Germany and didn't get to the USA until the later 1890's.

On the contrary, rather than feel guilt about slavery in the USA I have what may be deemed a perverse take on that "peculiar institution". But for slavery in the USA my life would not have been enriched by the music made at Stax Records and Motown. But for slavery I doubt I'd have never heard from the following people: Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, Albert King, Marvinn Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Nat King Cole, Martha Reeves, Diana Ross, Al Green, Tina Turner, Issac Hayes...I could go on but you get the point.

If there exists outside the USA anywhere in the world a larger upper and middle class black ethinic group, then someone needs to point it out to me.

#2 Most Americans can tune in to American sports on the weekend and watch more wealthy blacks than are in the entire continent of Africa.

The white guilt program is something the neo-socialist/marxist dreamed up to take power, ignoring that it was the Western world after 4,000 years of human history and experience with slavery that lead the fight to end it. Notice how easily they gloss over those who do continue to engage in the practice.

Its a scam much like the Medieval church to extort power and wealth by laying sin upon the masses and then saying only they could release you from it, for a price.

#3 Actually I think that if the US never had slavery we probably would have had a wave of immigration from Africa the way we had Europeans, Southern Europeans and Asians. I don't know if that would have changed the music or the number of athletes though.
