But I still think he's needlessly bringing race into the equation...not to mention I'm one of those people that don't care about slavery, that's in the past.

Shame on you. You're supposed to feel guilty for crimes committed by your father's father's father's father's father.

Of course, if your family never owned slaves, then you should just default to feeling guilty for being white.

I love how people point out how Slavery ended in 1865 but forget about the legal discrimation i.e. segregation that took place into the 1970s. Not trying to pick on you Rocket Pig, I'm just saying. Hell, interracial marriage was illegal until 1970. I live in Virginia, up until a 2000 we had a Lee/Jackson/King Holiday. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Martin Luther King shared a Holiday.....

 

Basically my point.  The shadows of regular legalized racism are cast from much closer then just slavery... and most white people, even the Irish pretty much have to go "out of their way" to find racism.

However for a lot of black people it's just a matter of life and something you grow up with.
