Do you think we should avoid discussing historical events?

@Kinevi1 Except if we didnt talk about it, we would be doomed to repeat it. Remembering an ugly stain in our past keeps us from repeating it.

@SW-User You can't assume, if it happened once, it will happen again. We live in a different world now.

@Kinevi1 You're not wrong, but if you close your eyes, act like something didnt happen and that everything is all happy and fun you are simply being dishonest with yourself.

@SW-User Filling yourself up with hate from the past solves literally nothing. It is better to forget than to remember and have it affect you and the way you act. The history of slavery is a huge impact on racism.

@Kinevi1 I don't think that is necessarily the case. The roots of racism come from slavery, that is undeniable. However, I highly doubt some racist today hates African americans because of somethong that happened 200 years ago. It comes more from how they were raised and tearing down statues and covering up history won't change that.
