I guess in context Ronin. We're not talking about Scottland or 1930's Germany. We're talking about the United States of America. Slavery in the United States was a big deal and has shaped who were are as a nation now. If you don't learn from your mistakes you are destined to repeat them. Maybe we could pull a Japan and just rewrite history. And I think your wrong again Ronin...people do care about other atrocities committed throughout the world.
