i watch shows to get away from the everyday; an escape. however the writers decided to drag me back to scold me over slavery and throw some good old white guilt my way. claire was so righteously indignant over the aunt's plantation which was not in the United States, but the british colonies. but in a previous episode she was in jamaica, and didn't say squat about all the slaves. i understand there was slavery after the revolution, but our ancestors got rid of it and fought a big war to make it happen. you brits have way more to feel guilty about then we do so please spare me the the kick in the shins when i'm trying to relax. every nation has good things and bad things in their history, but America bashing seems to be all the rage. i don't want to hear it. it's been duly noted a hundred times over.
