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. --Clare
