I beg to differ. It doesnt make you racist just because a group of people over 400 years were racist to you and now you are uneasy about them.
Two things... the first is, yes it very well could. Judging a group of people based on skin color is by definition racist. Two wrongs don't make a right. Second thing is, nobody did anything to you 400 years ago unless you've found the best anti aging cream ever made! I did nothing to you and by your very statement, you are judging me by skin tone and by the sins of my ancestors (not really because my family got here in like 1902).
All Joking aside, I totally get your meaning though. It's human to harbor resentment based on past wrongs even though the people standing in front of you weren't those people at all. I do it... everyone does it whether they admit to it or not. I sincerely wish we all could move past it because we all lose out on so many possibilities to learn and grow.
It's sad how our past has been so tragic, and by far it's been whites causing pain to others (within the last 3-400 years). But to me it's much worse that we STILL can't seem to come together. Someone has to take the first steps.
