[QUOTE="Rainman, post: 1742224, member: 22207"] One of the best posts of yours that I've ever read. It gives me a greater insight than I had previously, making me rethink things. As you said, genocide has existed for centuries, probably as long as people have existed. All people groups are guilty, white, black, Asian, Native Americans, Christian, Jew, Muslim, no one is innocent. Everyone has done it, but That doesn't make it right. The history books are written by the winners, so we shouldn't be surprised that this was all glossed over. I respect your point of view, and agree that no one should have to deal with derogatory terms regarding their ancestry, skin color, or faith. The point I was making regarding the use of the term Redskin was that for most people living today the term is not regarded derogatory. I respect your feelings in this matter, and not trying to dissuade you from your opinion. Just making a statement regarding the majority of people and their reaction to the term. Not trying to argue. My point with the post was that you have less credibility when you cause others of racism when you yourself make racist comments. That is hypocrisy, and that is hurting your cause, not helping it. You are accurate in most of the facts in your posts. The way you come across really sux sometimes. The message you are delivering is good. If you really want to get the people on board with you, work on how you deliver the message. [/QUOTE]
