my ancestors? no, I'm sorry, I'm quite sure my ancestors were living in shtetls in Eastern Europe and had nothing whatever to do with the Atlantic Slave Trade.

"white" as a category is just as non-sensical as "black" as a category. these are very course labels for phenotypes and say very little about a person's ancestry or heritage. When I meet a black person today, in New York City where I live, I don't know if they are the descendant of American slaves or if they are a 1st gen immigrant from Nigeria. The only sensible thing to do is treat people as individuals and judge them by their own actions.
