People don't work like that - they get defensive and it gives them a reason to dislike you more. Instead of pounding on the past, and "calling people out", why not show people that you are above that and above blameing the past for current racism????

See, this is something I don't understand......
When it comes to the Jewish Holocaust, we (the public) are never to forget so that it never happens again, and I agree.
BUT!!!! When it comes to slavery and racism against Blacks, its always 'Why don't y'all just get over it. That stuff happened a long time ago.'
Just an observation.......
