I do not believe that African Americans should forget. However, I do not feel it is right to blame. I was raised to believe that I am not white. By all physicall apearances, I am white. My mother is Sicilian and my father is Jewish. Both of my parents were the first born in America.
I get angry when I hear African Americans make comments suggesting that I have benefitted from the slave labor of Africans. This statement is not true considering that my family did not come to America untill the 1940s. As a Jew, I will never forget what happened in Germany during World War II, but I do not blame every living German for what happened.
