First off, I believe some clarification is in order. People are presuming
that two messages spliced together are my one message. Let me explain:

 I (Wes) do believe that some of the African Americans in America are
descended from slaves. Where else might they come from? There's an entire
world out there. But for the most part, I do not contest the fact that many
black people in America are possible slave descendents. And as far as
"pay[ing] them back for stuff that we aren't responsible for, and they
didn't go through" I personally don't feel responsible for their struggle.
I am only the second generation in America (we're Welsh, from the town of
Tenby), but that doesn't mean that they're ancestors didn't suffer through
what they sufferd through. As far as I'm concerned, anyone black or
hispanic or asian or whatever can call white people or caucasians, or
whatever anyhting they please because the fact femains that white poeple
have butchered and oppressed and enslaved to get what they want. And I can
say that becasue it's true. Look at the history books. Being white means
that you personally are not responsible for all the bad things other white
people have done, but people will group you, that's the way people are.
Sorry to preach.

 I do not assume that I am talking to only white people on this list. I
know that there are people from all over the planet that subscribe to this
list and I would be a fool to consider them all white.
