I am not saying forget it, I am saying acknowledge, learn from and move on. forgetting would be a huge mistake, but at some point we have to say that we cant fix it, sorry for the actions years ago wont work and move on.

Personally, I think that the past should absolutely be acknowledged and not forgotten. But in order to move forward, we can't live in the past. It holds us back from any sort of progress. But I know it's much much more complicated than that.

The thing is, there has been mistreatment in the past, but how do you make up for that today? afirmitive action? reverse racism? give money? what realy needs to happen is everyone to move on. wont happen though. lots use past wrongs as an excuse.
