All it takes is 1%? You are talking about people, not the bubonic plague.
I'm a South Carolinian and a descendant of slave holders going all the way back to the London Virginia Company. There are many painful legacies that are still alive and kicking, but you are making easy assumptions to generate invisible boogey men. It is like saying Germans are essentially evil because there are Nazis hanging on the family tree.
Because of your kind of logic I spent the first 18 years of my life wondering why the almighty didn't shine his mercy on the human race and have my ancestors castrated to remove the evil from this world. How would you like to look in the mirror and wonder how such evil exists?
Eventually I had to grow up and realize all of that was really self-obsession, not a desire for justice.
