I'm not saying your claim is unfounded. But, do you deny the link between your Southern heritage and slavey? You can't simply ignore it as if it never happened because it's inconvenient.
My point is this; there's Blacks in this country. American citizens with the same rights you have. I'm not saying you shouldn't celebrate your heritage, (You should see my mothers side of he family on St. Patrick's Day. Holy hell) but you should be mindful of the slavery issue. <shrug>
