#PastPredictsTheFuture
Yes there is a difference. Being aware means to be learning, but to constantly remind is to divide and to keep the victim as victim. Indian people do not curse the britishers on a daily basis and blame them for all problems. I will also say this brown person is not happy to hear some black lives matter people include brown lives, as if browns are also victims. I am not a victim of anything and I do not want my daughter hearing she is victim either because hearing those things and believing them means you cannot succeed.
Yes. Google the term 'self flagellation.'
It's a good and healthy thing to remember our past atrocities in the attempt to avoid committing them in the future. This is called repentance, healing and growth. It's a markedly unhealthy thing to continually beat one's self (or one's culture) up about it. This is called dysfunction.
Spot on!
And let's all keep in mind that, at one time or other, every single race, ethnicity, religious 'persuasion,' etc. on earth has been victimized. NO one has been spared man's brutality to man.
I can't do anything about my ancestors' prior abuse of blacks, Amerinds, etc. All I can do is not abuse people myself. Only in that way can the cycle of abuse be stopped.
Well, when it ceases to bother you, it will not weaken you like that. So, thank the Universe every time your ego is piqued and soon it will callous over and you will be stronger for it.
