I think people believe that yes because of the past. I think also people treat African Americans in some cases worse because of the past and the history or otherwise we learn from school or at home.

It's why I said if it all magically disappeared, I believe America would be better off. If parents didn't pass on their racism to their kids. If people didn't blame the past for their position today. Etc. The racial divide honestly doesn't really have to be what it is in this country now.

I see my son falling into so much "passive racism" in his youth that I have to course correct all the time. Just last weekend when watch Save the Last Dance he said something I felt was troubling, and I had to talk to him about it.

Luckily every generation has gotten better and better, but ironically our past is what keeps it alive.


But the past is very responsible for things today. Not just in the slavery sense that we are talking about, but the general poor socioeconomic conditions for EVERYONE outside of the wealthy exist because of the past.
