Everything in history is "relevant" depending on your frame of reference and context, but to talk about past "injustice" as something we today should
take any blame for is not too productive, in my opinion, and frankly not particularly interesting--------stuff happened, and there is NOTHING we can
do about it because everybody involved is dead, other than try to learn from it. At the time, it seemed like the thing to do, and the motives are
complex and beyond knowing, IMO. I am not sure man has progressed much--------some pretty awful stuff still happens today, and even that is depending
on your point of view.
Why this is brought up over and over again is beyond me. |
