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)

Gentrification, racial profiling, stereotyping, lynchings, glass ceilings, KKK and other hate groups, unequal educational opportunities are just a few of the issues African Americans have to deal with today. If you can't get it through your head that these are real issues today, try living in a country where your racial profile is not the ruling class and get a taste of how it feels to be a minority member of society. I think your notion of "get over it" will change dramatically.

Remember Rodney King, Amadu Diallo and the LAPD Rampart Division scandal? You might offer a literal response that tries to suggest that none of this post deals with literal human bondage, yet the nature of psychological/social slavery still exists.
