we look at the past and learn from it. . and while yes i agree it was a tragedy, it kinda bugs me these days how some people still push the fact that blacks were slaves or natives lost land. I'm part native, i'm not about to go and fight so i can get a bigger property (but i do see why certain tribes fight to gain what they've lost, many of 'em are pretty contradictory though) black people. . .they aren't all of a slaves decent!! But it's automatically thought, you're black your ancestors must've been slaves, that right there is something i would consider a racist thought. .while you might say it sympathetically it's still saying "black people are/were slaves!"
whatever, you guys get my point (i think)... I'ma stop now, my debating skills are depleting.

Did my ancestors take part? I honestly don't know, but if they did, it doesn't make it my fault. I know you weren't exactly saying that, but I just think that people should stop saying "we" and "them."
