South Carolina, eh? Cool, that's where my ancestors come from (you know, after they were taken from Africa). My 6th great grandfather was a slave (along with his parents and siblings) on a rice plantation around the Santee area. He ran away at 15, joined the British forces and gained passage to Canada as a result. One day I hope to visit the area, just to see it for myself. SC is one of the few states I haven't been to

I appreciate the apology. When we know better, we do better. You came up in a time when, sadly, for white people, especially in the south, racist attitudes were the norm.

Thank you for your kind words.
