You notice patterns. White guests often are mortified - that word again - when they learn their ancestors owned slaves. But I've never had a black guest who was upset to learn about white ancestry that probably involved forced sexual relations.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Sie bemerken Muster. Weiße Gäste sind oft beschämt - dieses Wort wieder - wenn sie lernen, dass die Sklaven ihrer Vorfahren besessen sind. Aber ich hatte noch nie einen schwarzen Gast, der verärgert war, etwas über die weißen Vorfahren zu erfahren, bei denen es wahrscheinlich um erzwungene sexuelle Beziehungen ging.

It's really kind of gross.

But really these people, their hope was broken. Their sense of love was broken. Their appreciation for who they were was broken.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

In the suffragist and abolitionist era, there were a lot of white women and some black men and women who argued for the old hierarchy and against universal adult suffrage - often on religious grounds.

But in answer to your question about the conspiracy angle, I think that any historian worth his salt, and this is where I fault Stephen Ambrose and a lot of these guys who attack me - not all of life is a result of conspiracy by any means! Accident occurs alongside conspiracy.

I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothing's a joke to me. I don't feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face.
