My first blog post. Ever.

My wife is an avid blogger.  She blogs about pretty much everything.  Despite her encouragement I have never tried my hand at blogging.  I guess I have always felt blogging is a girl thing, and maybe that I am too "manly" to participate.  I love to write, but I like to have a purpose in my writing.  This is going to be my trial this semester of blogging: to blog with a purpose in mind.  Hopefully this little experiment goes well, but not too well because then my wife will expect me to contribute more on our blog.
In my Sociology 323 (Race and Class in America) class we are discussing the effects that slavery has had on white people in America.  While black Americans were obviously adversely affected by slavery and racism my teacher contends that whites were effected as well.  I am interested to read and learn what the impact of slavery has been to the white people of America.
