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)

I am sick an tired of hearing the excuse, "It's because I'm black." or "Your Racist." because you would not do something and or give something to them.

so maybe people use it as a joke or excuse now but a generation ago blacks were denied so many things and tht was why.

murderous_thoughts :
"today's African Americans" don't all run around saying my grandpa was a slave i hate white people. if they say anything they arent "holding you accountable" it just sucks to know that people were treated so bad becuase of their skin color.

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. 

could u explain?
