Not really know. I'm not saying forget something happened. I'm saying learn what you can from it and face the reality you live in.t learn from the past but there comes a point where going back in time isn't pragmatic. Reparations for instance. It's 100% fuked up that 40 acres and a mule was delivered, it's 100% fuked up that jews went through the holocaust, it's 100% fuked that Japanese americans where put in internment camps, it's 100% fuked that native americans were all but destroyed and their land taken, it's 100% fuked [insert group here] did [insert bad thin here] to [insert victim here]....So with your philosophy black folks should forget about slavery, and "pull them selves up by tha boot straps"
I think you have to look at the past becuz it sets tha precedent for tha future , it's unfair if past wrongs are not addressed and you cannot move forward, becuz it breeds resentment.
Past wrongs must be righted in order to reach a compromise, that is why that area is still in conflict to this day
Life's not fare, get what you can then move forward.
