As a person of Native American descent (Cherokee, Seminole) I must agree with many people that the Native Americans deserve an apology . It was a great injustice to them taking away their land, way of life, dignity, the shed of their blood. All though I am of Native American descent, I am mixed blood, so I am also part of those responsible for that injustice. My GreatGreatGrandmother traveled ( The Trail of Tears )as did many other ancestors. They died from a mixture of hardships inflicted upon them by force which included disease, inadequate food and shelter, murder, and the tiring incredible trek of which many were unable to physically indure. Where is the APOLOGY ? Don't you think they deserve it ?
There is another APOLOGY which is long over due ! SLAVERY ! A great injustice was also commited against the African American race. They were beaten, hung, raped, and taken from their home land . Gone was their happiness and way of life. They were sold, husbands, wives, children, mothers and fathers were separated from their family unit. Never to see their loved ones again. Did I personally do this to them ? NO ! But that doesn't mean that I am not sorry that it happened. I did not cause it to happen and neither did you, but as human beings, we need to understand the impact it had on them. We need to understand their pain and despair, every inch of suffering that was committed against them. We also need not to forget that there were also slaves among the other races, Asians and Native Americans. Each person enslaved, regardless of their race ,is owed an apology. It could not have been wrong to enslave one race and not the other. It was all wrong. When we cry , we should cry for them all, each person was equally important.
NOW , HOW ABOUT THE THANKS ! There was a tremendous injustice against so many people, so many years ago, but there were also many men who believed in freedom. They gave the ultimate sacrifice ( their own lives ) in the fight to abolish slavery. I never hear a THANK YOU for them. You know what ? I THANK THEM , for putting an end to such cruel and criminal actions against mankind. I THANK THEM for thinking of you. I THANK THEM for thinking of me. I THANK THEM for giving their lives for the future of all AMERICANS. In The United States of America there is probably a small percentage of people who are 100% pure blood to their race. Most of us are mixed to some degree. I'm proud of my blood, every drop, what about you? Think about that Americans!
