People love to use the phrase, "It's (insert current year here), aren't we past this kind of shit by now?" But apparently we are not. The Native Americans are still in the camps we designated them to live in. The Hawaiians are still protesting. We are still rounding up Mexicans.
We used to burn people alive for being 'witches' too. It was an accepted part of society. Doesn't mean it was right.

I just don't see the point of bashing something that happened 100 years ago when people thought differently and then hold the people of today accountable for it. Just hold the people of today accountable for the actions they are presently taking.
The Hawaiians want Hawaii back. Makes sense to me.
The US wants the US back from the Mexicans that came here illegally. Makes sense to me.
You can blame me for not taking action in helping the causes but you sure can't blame me for slavery back whenever.
