To add further "walk a mile in their moccasins" type debate...think about the person you hold most dear. Korny, think the wife. You and her were perfectly fine, married about to have a kid and along comes this race of people, they snare you, put ya on a boat and ship you somewhere. The dude that owns you takes a liking to her, and takes her from you whenever he wants and if you say anything he whips you. He rapes her, beats her, and then makes you work his land.

Sorry guys, that type of shit doesn't just go away.

Now you are freed...your children are free, but they can't vote, can't drive, can't learn with the other people....you are free to live at a lower class than white people.

That doesn't go away either.

Now you got you guys today. You didn't see any of this in real life, just read about it in books. So along comes a black educated man who hears you saying "it's the past, it's no big deal" when his father and his father's father actually lived through it.

It never goes away. Ever. It's a part of our fucked up history. Sorry but yeah, white people fucked over a lot of people to get to where they are and a lot of people now are trying to reverse that. It took a couple hundred years to get to where we are and it might take a couple hundred more to feel like we're even.
