I used the term red people as you used the term redness. I apologize for jumping to conclusions as to what your post was pointing to; that there has never been peace regardless of the race of people. There have been a few times here where someone has actually posted some nasty remarks about about the native Americans and the superior white race and they meant it, and, as you say, although I am just a human being, someone gloating over wiping out my ancestors can hit a nerve.
As far as I’m concerned it’s all history and I’m living right now, where in this country there is opportunity for all. I wish people like the professor in the article and all the other race whores would do the same.
Again, sorry for jumping to conclusions, sometimes it’s the only exercise I get.
I respect the American Indian, and there were many injustices, I guess I got a little hot myself because of the assumption that simply because I am White, I or my ancestors are responsible for anything that happened to slaves or Indians. I waste no time in educating the rude ones that I am first generation, my family is Magyar(Hungarian), historically, but American first since '52 and if they want to talk slaughter, slavery and subjugation I require them to read up on the History of Hungary first.
Bottom line is there will never be complete peace on Earth until people are no longer divided by their color, or religion.
Take care and enjoy your weekend, I think we are both actually of the same opinion on this issue.
Thank you both for dealing with your communications forthrightly. Miscommunication happens, and I deplore the current culture of anger and vitriol that infects so many threads on FR these days.
It is a wonderful thing to see when people can resolve such potentially explosive miscommunications with thought and sensitivity.
