Why can't people learn, to let things go? Options

[murderous_though...]

Ok im not trying to be racist here, I just don't understand something and I hope somebody can help me out. Why are today's African Americans still holding us accountable for slavery? Were they slaves? Were their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents slaves? No...Were any of the white people alive today slave owners? Or their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents? No...Why get pissed off at white people about it? One of their ancestors was just as responsible for selling slaves to the whites in the first place...they were traded for sugar and rum. But you never see anybody complaining about the leader of that tribe that SOLD them like a friggin piece of fish....WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS!! Don't get me wrong, im completely against slavery, but stop whining about something that didn't even happen to you. Now, the Jews and Palestinians...It all started way back when with Jacob and Esau...Jacob took Esaus birthright and blessing because of trickery, but after about 14 years, Jacob came back and Esau forgave him (Sparks notes version, k?) Jacob went on to make the Jewish nation, and Esau the Palestinians...why are they still fighting over land? Both had ancestors that believed in the same God, and the differences were reconciled before even Jesus was alive...can someone tell me why they're still fighting? (sorry for such a long post)

It's not like as soon as they abolished slavery, the former slaves could just start new lives and live happily ever after and had the same oppurtunities as everyone else.
Also don't forget about segregation and Jim Crow laws that legally kept people down until atleast the 1950s. In history class we watched this video about WWII, and that a group of black soldiers fighting for our country and our people, were forced to sit in the kitchen of a restaurant. Yet Nazi prisoners of war were allowed to sit with the rest of the white people and socialize. Isn't that disgusting?

And it's not like these things still don't go on. When my dad wanted to move to Rhode Island with his ex-wife (who is white), she went alone to check out the apartment. The landlord was happy to sell it to her, but when my dad came to see it later all the owner said was "You didn't tell me your husband was colored" and then he slammed the door in their faces.
