Wrong again

She said that we're better off because of the hardships our ancestors endured to get here (a.k.a. the U.S.)

You must be a weather man, that's the only person I can think of that's wrong so often.

You should really learn to read particularly if you are going to call someone else wrong

This is what she said

We all - blacks and whites and everyone else - have a better life because of the sacrifices our ancestors made and the horrors inflicted upon them by other cultures.

No white guilt here.

The fact that many white folk deny the white-guilt does not make it go away - hell no.

All us whites in the USA today and now - all share in the white privileges and white riches and the white shame as we all live on top of our white American heritage. That makes us all guilty today for everything that was done in our shared past.

It makes no difference if one's ancestors came from Norway or from anywhere, and coming here later makes no difference because we whites still share the ill-gotten-gain still going on today and now.

Also there is a call for "Black History Month" to be called as "African American History month", link.
