*LOL* Girl you a mess!
True story that happened a few years ago:
I was dating a woman from Kenya and we were having a discussion much like this one, and the more I spoke about slavery and racism in America, the angerier and more emotional I got.
My ex-Kenyan sweetie calmed me down (and mind you, that was a chore for her) by consistently telling me to stop fuming and harping about the past (At that time I was having a 90s "angry black man" flashback--I used to be a super-militant Africentric in my college days). She also said that the best thing I could do from that point forward was to move forward and work toward improving my life and the lives of others around me and associated with me.
Once I got over my big ego and humbled myself to her advice, in retrospect, it was one of the best pieces of advice she had ever given me, and I am a much better person for it and I thank her to this day for taking the time to help me out in that manner.
Just something to think about.
