BuDDaH:
It's attitude like that - the never letting go, the idea that past mistreatments are the fault of the current generation, the idea that the current generation should "pay" for what the assholes in our past did, the idea that because of atrocities that happened in the past we can NEVER have a color blind society - that will guarantee the continuance of racial problems for all time. If that's your goal, then you're on the right track.
I stand firm, though, that black on white racisim is just as evil as white on black racism. People should be judged on their merit, not their color. Your color is meaningless, your character is all that matters.
If, however, you, as you seem to be insisting, want to be judged at least in part on your color, then you should be quite happy with the current state of affairs.
