You seem to be stuck on the past and trying to justify or build upon the wrongs committed rather than the right. This country also fought a civil war to end the practice of slavery. Hundreds of thousands of people died. But instead of seeing the good, you want to persist in looking at the bad.
There are people in this world who DO stand for whats right rather than what they will get from an action. They aren't perfect but they try. I'm sorry if you don't know anyone like that. And if you don't you should consider the fact that those people are looking at you as a commodity also.
If I have misunderstood your position please clarify
