You know, the bible says that when we sin, we should seek forgiveness from God. But although God has forgiven us, that does not mean that we are absolved from the consequences of our sin. Quit turning a blind eye to the consequences of those sins that happened years ago.
I'm pretty appalled that some folks have the nerve to say "get over it". Boom Quack was right....no one would say that to a rape victim or abused wife, but yet its said to African Americans without a second thought.
@ Mulattogyrl: You also didn't know that its "racist" to talk about the past treatment of blacks? LOL

Can I say that this is a great post.
If you aren't living in our shoes, what gives one the right to say "get over it?"
