Douglas,

I think your statement is patently false.  I'm sure that there are many 
people who do not see nobility in "slave-owners like George Washington, 
Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee," but who see nobility in other people 
who are more likely to meet a standard of heroism that you perhaps don't 
understand.  I'd bet there are plenty of blacks who see nobility in Malcolm 
X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks, while failing to see nobility in 
men who held their ancestors as property.  Not to say that I can't see 
nobility in these white icons, but my ancestors were never chattel on this 
continent, either.
