  Michael, I think it is unfair to put all "white" people into
one category that they are all villians.  As I recall from history,
many whites in this country came over as indentured servants,
outcasts, and poor immigrants starved out of their homelands or
persecuted religiously or otherwise (i.e. Jews, etc.).  Thus to
classify all whites as those who STOLE by 300 years of slavery
is a bit prejudiced.  I'd wager that perhaps only a small % of
whites in this country are descended from slave-owners.
