I read an article but I believe you wrote about slavery saying that if you agreed to be someone’s slave it was okay especially in the terms of money for medical procedure for your child the problem I have with it is a whole idea of slavery is against free will nobody goes into slavery with their own free will there always forced to buy some means that’s where I disagree with you and don’t get me wrong I’m a 40 year old white male who in my tire life has never met a Slave and honestly believe that most people who’s ancestors were brought over slaves are much happier in this country Dan their ancestors Origins me personally I am descended from Scottish and Irish which two was brought to this country in a form of slavery and I feel nobody owes me anything because I was never a Slave both of my parents were drug addicts and drunks so I never got the benefit of having a good parent to help me through life get started whatever and I still struggle day today but it’s nobody else’s fault but maybe there’s and my own I have accomplished more I don’t understand the idea of white privilege because if you hire a person based on his color and not his ability you’re doing wrong whether you believe there’s enough black people working at a job versus white or not and I think you understand what I’m saying that I’m not going to explain it further and if this is not the person that wrote it please excuse my ignorance cuz this is the best I can find and would appreciate if you could direct me to the correct person and if by some chance you actually read this I will definitely be interested in a response

Dear Person:

I’m the correct person.
