I'm also from the south and my family probably owned slaves. It is something we should talk about and acknowledge. I am sure I knew people when I lived there who would be angry at "making trouble by talking about that time". But we need to do that, own up that our ancestors did that. Even if one's ancestors believed in it, it does not mean that you can't have different views and see the wrongness of historical actions. And of course there is plenty of racism around today.
