Some people should stop playing the victim and get on with their lives and work for what they want.

Can I just use what ColdNoMore has said without restating what should be obvious?

I heard someone, somewhere, say something that really resonated with me.

In essence..."we're just asking for acknowledgement and to address the problem...not revenge."

Substitute 'discrimination against (whichever WASP nationality you like)' in place of the "short Japanese internment" above.
Some people should also quit denying that there still is racism in this country today and assuming that the playing field is level for all. We could all do better if we really want to fix the problem of racism & inequity in the U.S.
