The next time someone says they don't have to apologize for being white,

[Jack Valentino]

1. I am not forced to apologize for being white, but I DO apologize for the fact that

at least one of my white ancestors (of the southern variety) owned slaves.

(My father who did much research into genealogy un-convered that fact.... although the ancestors in question were never large slaveholders, but just the single digit variety.)


On the brighter side, my father also established that two ancestors served with General Sherman's army,
and thus very likely "marched through Georgia"!


Nobody can choose their ancestors, but I'm pretty proud to have those two!!!!
