Genealogy is my hobby, and I have often thought it must be especially hard to be a black genealogist in America, because the records would only go back so far. I think we have a need to know where we came from (look at the years of searching that adopted children go through to find their birth parents), and I can see that it would be very frustrating to not even know what country your ancestors came from. I don’t understand the hate thing, though. The slave owners are long dead, and living white Americans may have their genetic material, but you can’t inherit sin. Who exactly do you hate, and why? In my family tree, there is at least one guy who owned slaves, several men who fought on the Union side of the Civil War and a couple who fought on the Confederate side. I don’t regard them as evil or good. I think they were a product of what they were taught by their parents and pastors and leaders of that time. Are you hating all white Americans because of what their ancestors might have done? Do you hate me? Do you hate my two-year-old daughter? Will all of your descendants hate all of my descendants?
