This not only damages the history of victims of racism but also makes it difficult to deal with in the future. Am I wrong in that? That's all I'm saying.
I don't know anyone that celebrates Kwanzaa (blacks even) and I have never even heard any references in pop-culture (tv, books, papers, etc.) to non-black people celebrating it.

Racism is a instutionalized system. Bigotry is basically not liking a person because of their race/religion/gender, etc....

What makes it difficult is that people won't deal with it. They're quick to defend insensitive remarks.
