I agree sort of

	I agree with you whole heartedly that america has a
 history of exploiting their people and I personaly don't
 like considering myself american ( I'd rather us African 
 American)  But I don't think that you're right in saying that
 WE should be ashamed.  The majority of americans don't
 beleive in what American politicians do so we have no reason
 to be sorry because we didn't do anything.  It's like me
 saying that all white people should apologize to me for
 their ANCESTORS beatings mine.  That's not a very fair way
 to think.  It's also a little stereotypical to asume that
 all americans have the same mentality.
