The sanitized and glorified version of white history is presented on a daily basis. It’s how we end up with statues of Nathan Bedford Forest (the first Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan) and other Confederate soldiers. It’s how we hear about Washington’s wooden teeth which in actuality were teeth pulled from slaves. I don’t care about you feeling guilt, you at least ought to know what it is you don’t feel guilty about. BTW, you may have an idea about what your immediate family perpetrated, are you certain about your ancestors?
