The point being made is that it's not JUST white people. It isn't easy to take on any blame for your background. If you're guilty for something that you did personally, that's one thing. But to have your entire identity as a human defined by what your ancestors did is crap. Yes, white folks have committed many many atrocities; but it doesn't stop there. Whether you are black, white, asian, latino, green, or purple, there is going to be something in your "heritage" that is violent and abhorrent. It's easier to cast blame than it is to accept your great(x10) grandfather's
crimes. It is time that people look at the now and the future to make changes. Casting aspersions based on things that have happened hundreds of years ago, is counter-productive. Don't get me wrong, we should never forget what has happened in order to honor the memories of the martyrs; however, there are things going on all over the world whether in the Middle East, Venezuela, Tibet, or even at home.
These are the things we should concern ourselves with changing and being upset about. The past a great reference for the future. Let's not let history repeat itself!
