I agree with most of what you say.
And yes, reverse discrimination is not somehow allowable because you (or your people) were once discriminated against. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Just a cursory glance at how we behave lends to this.Agreed, humans being are cruel, but that's no excuse for slavery. We should certainly moan and whine (and more) about slavery when it still happens across the world.
Quote:- Most blacks who claim to hate whites over slavery are total hypocrites. If racism is bad, then it cannot be used to serve your own agenda. If something is deemed wrong, it cannot be right when YOU use it. You are no better than the racist "evil" (lulz.. evil doesn't even exist) white people.Anyone who hates an entire race (or gender, or age-group, or nationality, or religion, or political movement, etc.) because of something an often small subset of them do is being illogical. No good comes from extending your hatred to people who have no involvement with the thing you hate. Not all white people were slave owners or even supported slavery, and a vast majority of white people these days think slavery is repulsive and find the actions of their ancestors disgusting.

Quote:- What does being angry do exactly? Will your anger travel back in time to 1750 or whenever, unshackle your ancestor on the slave ship and send him or her back to Africa?No, for that you need the Doctor. :-)
