i dont know why its this complicated

it seems to me racism is being looked at in the wrong way,
for example, if i met a german person, i wouldnt immediatly hate him for the holocaust, i wouldn't think oh he caused millions of my people to die, he is to blame. if he later said something anti-semetic, that would be a different story, then i would have a reason to dislike him not his entire culture, maybe some people do but i dont and i think the same can be said for black and white issues in this country, an african- american who doesnt like any white people because of what happened a couple hundred years ago at least is racist, because if that person then does something that is discriminating against you because you are of another ethnic group, then that person is to blame not everyone who is white. i just think that it is sad that people have so much aggression towards one another, if we want everyone to be treated equally then truely everyone should be treated equally no benifits, no special treatment, just equally.
