Louis Gates - An angry elitist with a chip on his shoulder looking for opportunity pursues his red badge of courage.

Al Sharpton and Strom Thurmond Ancestors.

It matters not that some of Thurmond’s distant ancestors may have owned some of Sharpton’s distant ancestors. This is not Europe which dwells upon and is hobbled by its past. This is America, the land of new beginnings. This is Christianity, the life of new beginning. We are not liable for our parents’ debts. We are not responsible for our ancestors’ deeds. Each day is a new and fresh day. Each generation gets a fresh start. It will likely be emotionally played out in the media, and milked to link all whites to a guilty debt for all blacks. But it will set a bad precedent in the present day if the Thurmond’s are made to genuflect at the alter of racial apology for distant deeds of which they had not part. Such would just take us further down the path to a decaying European culture instead of a bold American culture.
