People don't work like that - they get defensive and it gives them a reason to dislike you more. Instead of pounding on the past, and "calling people out", why not show people that you are above that and above blameing the past for current racism????

WHY is it that racism is the only offense, where people want the 'victims' to be the ones responsible for correcting the problem?
You'll never see anyone telling a rape victim this crap.
