everyone? really? did you ask them? come on, henry. that's like saying that all whites thought slavery was ok. but all whites didn't think slavery was ok. there was a strong abolitionist movement in this country. of course you are correct to point out that in all probablility "all whites" did (and still do) benefit from racism. it is certainly a deplorable part of u.s. history and culture.
