First... I don't understand why someone would unsubscribe from a list because of one message...sheesh. Second... As a decendent of slaves (and others) I stand to get some money if this whole deal goes through but I do not see the benefit in reparations. All I want is the TRUTH. If our history books told the truth and our children learned the truth that would have a more profound effect than any amount of money reparations could ever bring. -T- ===== ----------------------------------------------------- DUNN, CARMICHAEL, STABLER, JONES in Alabama JAMES, FENNELL, SMITH, CARMICHAEL in North Carolina BAILEY, DUNN, JONES, JAMES, VANKIRK in Pennslyvania CARMICAHEL in Ohio BAILEY in the Carribean Islands, Panama, New York __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Traci, It isn't one message (sheesh....) Chaps routinely sends these sorts of racially-biased political messages to several genealogy lists (that I'm aware of) routinely. Go to the Rootsweb archives and search the Coosa, Tallapoosa, Alabama and other Southern lists for his email address and you'll find that this is a pattern , unrestrained by the list managers. This is not the place for advancing whatever we perceive to be our social and moral vocation - it's the place to learn about our ancestors.
