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)

People can't let those kinds of things just...'go' People discriminated against them and that is something to be upset about. And, as humans, we just HAVE to point to a certain group of people to put the blame on. Think about it. It doesn't have to be you YOURSELF who does this, but the majority of people in society in GENERAL. A few years ago, the US declared all Issen and Niisen (Japanese) as spies during WWII and imprisoned them in camps. People say that the conditions weren't 'as harsh' as the ones the Germans used for the Jewish camps (another example; Germans blamed homosexuals, people who weren't "blond-blue eyed" and Jewish people). To that, I say this:

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - you really don't know anything, do you?"

Another example: We considered ALL RUSSIANS as spies during the "OMFG! COMMUNISION!" time in our Americany world.

Another example: As of 9/11, we had considered ALL MUSLIMS as spies during the "OMFG! TERRORISM!!" time in our Americany world.

Another example: Koreans still riducule, blame and despise the Japanese after what they did to them. (Why can't THEY just let it go?)

All in all, it's just like that. If we as a society feel threatened by something or someone, most of us feel the need to blame somebody...

And if you say "HELL NO" to THAT, think of this time:

You and your younger sibling/friend are 5-7 years old. One of you broke a lamp in the house after playing a bit too rough. Mother comes in.

Mother: "Who broke the lamp?"

Both kids: "SHE/HE DID IT!!!"

...yes, THAT was yet, another example....
