It's not a matter of trying to take the high road, rather it's applying common sense to the facts of history. Should those in the Republic of Irl insist the orangemen planted by the English monarch in Northern Irl, in the 17thC, be sent back to Scotland? History cannot be undone & today's Americans have abosolutely no responsibility for what happened hundreds of yrs ago.

By encouraging the descendants of former slaves to whine rather than acknowledge most people through the centuries had tales of woe, you're enabling them to develop a permanent victim mentality...which is very unhealthy & self-destructive. Say to yourself 100Xs "I am not responsible for anything my forefathers did in the 19th Century, and neither is any other American living today."
