Apology for slavery?

Now we have a person starting to indicate that "white" Americans owe the "African-Americans" more than an apology and I, personally, am tired or such rubbish.

First let me say that I do not understand the phrase "African-American". First Africa is a continent not a country. There are 53 different nations that comprise Africa and not all of them are "black". Most people in the US are not "white" but are from a variety of Europeans countries. So in some respect we are all a mix of different races. I am Scottish, Irish, English, french and German. My ancestry has been traced as far back as Alfred the Great, Charlemagne and Edmund Ironside and by this logic am I to be held responsible for all the odious things these men did?

The area known now as Georgia was an indentured servant colony. Australia was a British penal colony. At different times people in the US have discriminated against the Irish, Chinese, Italians, Japanese, and Scots - just to name a few. Why don't we have a Chinese-American history week or a Native American history week? When does it stop?

It is time to put slavery in the PAST where it belongs and stop using it and the discrimination factor to excuse any behavior.
