I'm white, and I guess this is what a typical white woman would say, but no, you can't blame me for what my ancestors did. I'm smarter than that, and I have no respect for those that still act that way. My question is, do you consider yourself to be racist toward whites? You obviously have a problem with white people, and that is being predjudice. So how does that make you any better? I'm sorry for what my ancestors have done to your people, but now, you are being hypocritical. I know someone will say that I'm the racist one now that I've said that. Yes, white people through out history have supressed black people, but I as a women am not predjudice against men because they supressed women in the past, and they still are supressing women to this day. I also don't hate people of different religion, even though they have discriminated against me and my ancestors for being pagans. I could have been burned at the stake along with thousands of other women during the burning times. I don't hold that against Christians, because I know now that people are more educated and more intelligent. Many many people feel very sorry for what lies in the past. Don't hold the people today responsible for what the people of yesterday did. Discrimination still happens today, but not just toward black people. It happens toward women, Jews, pagans (witches), asians, etc. etc. as well. I know I will never change your mind, and this is just a lost cause, but think about all the hate that remains in the world because we can't forgive one another. We bring our children into this hate everyday. We should let it go and learn to love one another. Not just whites and blacks, but everyone.
