Yes, Zoe...I know. I've tried to learn from the things that have come my way whether good or bad. If we learn to be better from the negative things then they in one respect are a positive learning experience. My father's negativity has taught me how to be a better parent...I will always be there for my children and they know that.
I knew you all would understand what I was saying because we experience similar things. I guess the point I was making is...whether it happened hundreds of years ago it is still happening today and unless you are aware of how the NAs were treated most people would have no idea. Prejudice is terrible and I have hopes that one day it will be done away with but it will only happen through teaching the future generations not to practice it.
