Let me ask a question...

How long after an egregious event happens does it take to get over it? Slavery was a terrible thing. So was segregation. One ended roughly 140 years ago, the other 50ish years ago.
I am not saying things are perfect everywhere, before anyone starts crying. But...
How long should it take to move forward? 10 years? 50 years? 100 years? Never? How many generations removed from a terrible thing do we have to go before everyone just says fuck it, time to move on and shit?
All opinions welcome unless you are a whiny crying cunt.

Indeed. I am curious what people think. I wonder if race is still going to be a central issue in this country in 500 years? Will there be KKK morons still hatin' and blowing up churches, and Jesse Jackson fuckheads still profiteering off racial issues and slavery 700 years after the fact.

I'm still not over Kenny Wheaton
I'd give a serious answer but I'd rather finish my work and start drinking
England and the USA should get some credit for ending a practice that has been a part of human history forever. Something a white asshole would say I imagine
Whatever the answer is, slavery is not the issue causing economic problems today. But those are tuff to fix -
for me about 5 seconds after I hear about it

It takes hundreds or thousands of years for human cultures to evolve, and I don't think any particular culture on earth can recover from hundreds of years of injustice in just several generations.

So Blacks should be blaming Democrats for the horribly racist 1860 and 1864 campaigns, Jim Crow, and the Klan? For Wilson kicking Blacks out of the Civil Service? For FDR keeping the army segregated?YellowSnow said:It takes hundreds or thousands of years for human cultures to evolve, and I don't think any particular culture on earth can recover from hundreds of years of injustice in just several generations.
