Dear black people: IT'S NOT MY FAULT

You blame me, a white man, for all of your failures.  You claim I am prejudiced against you even before we meet, because you think my ancestors, and all white ancestors, owned slaves.  You demand special treatment to make up for past injustices.

Well, the truth of the matter is that YOUR OWN BLACK ancestors sold you into slavery.  According to Wikipedia:

The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly from Africa to the Americas, and then their sale there. The slave trade used mainly the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were Africans from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders (with a small number being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids), who brought them to the Americas.

The major Atlantic slave trading nations, ordered by trade volume, were: the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch Empires. Several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.
