The wounds haven't quite healed yet. So let's keep talking about it every year to keep it fresh in everyone's heads. There's no way we should just let it fade into oblivion huh? those who do no learn from history are doomed to repeat it(how can you learn from it if it fades into oblivion?) Because the only way to get rid of racism is to stop seeing the color, and how are we supposed to do that if race is always brought up? The very thing that makes people proud of their heritage is the thing that perpetuates the problem. it would be nice to see people as people. but race has to be brought up for everything good and bad. wasn't Dr. King a preacher of equality? why is he always used as a preacher for minority advancement then? -----signature----- Now i LIVESTRONG GO PATRIOTS Yankees SUCK!

	Jezza_Belle posted: Reapist posted: All people have come from a society that was used as slaves. Serfdom was a form of slavery and I know I am a descended from serfs. It's just that we're celebrating one of the most recent. And no one living in this country was ever a slave. When you go down south you see serious racism still exists. And that is why we need to keep things out there in front, to battle that. All I'm saying is that it would be nice if the racism no longer existed and we could let things go. And as for the War Memorial, that's to honor those who died, not the cause of the war. Apples/oranges. I'm sorry your ancestors had to serve my ancestors, but I fail to see what that has to do with ME and YOU. Exactly right. -----signature----- pkhere: Jebus sometimes you make my arse tired. Referring to illegal aliens as 'immigrants' is the same as referring to shoplifters as 'shoppers' - Dorvinion I'd feel bad for Satriani but he got himself into it. - allmightybob_MLF
