That's the advice many whites might give blacks hung up on slavery.
Some blacks agree.
My forefathers came here on a boat, and they were mistreated, too. I don't expect anyone to apologize to me or give me anything based on what happened to my forefathers in the past. And I don't think white people should apologize to black people who keep whining about things that happened in the past. Some blacks agree that, in some instances, slavery has become an excuse for failure and a chance to capitalize on white guilt. I know that's a very broad-minded approach.
