"Why does everything have to be about race" good question, ask the white colonists

@FreeSpirit1 Nope, you tried it. Everything you have now is a result of history and its achievements, if you want to dissociate from it then live in a cave.

@offingg I live in a house, now. You can live in the past.

@FreeSpirit1 You clearly lack comprehension skills, I won't waste my time.

@offingg If you believe peoples actions centuries ago dictate how your life is being lived today.......you are living in the past.
When do you stop? how far back do you go? today is today yesterday is yesterday.

@FreeSpirit1 They actually do, have you taken a history class? Oh my God.

@FreeSpirit1 Well, she is right that the history affects how people live today. American Indians live on reservations in the United States. And if it weren't for English colonists, Indian reservations wouldn't even exist to begin with. However, I don't think racial history affects so much how people act and behave today. The Ku Klux Klan lynched a lot of Black people during the Civil Rights Movement but that hasn't caused the majority of the Black population to be convinced that every White pedestrian that walks past on the street is going to hang them.

@BlueMetalChick What people did to other people years ago should not make anyone feel guilty today....is my point.

@FreeSpirit1 I see what you mean. Hindus killed a lot of Buddhists several hundred years ago but I wouldn't hate a Hindu person today because of it. Unless of course they still thought it was acceptable to kill Buddhists, but that's a totally different scenario.
