I am pretty certain that if all ethnic groups would just stop bringing up history and racism to our children, stop drawing these stupid lines, they could live in a world where no racism exists. But thanks to the KKK, NAACP, Black Panthers, all of the other "my race is the best and worst because of *", that isn't a world we live in.

The thing is, we are born into our place in the world BECAUSE of history. Because of our ancestors who worked through the industrial revolution, we live in a world with automobile, skyscrapers, the internet, and all other kinds of amazing shit.
The bad comes with the good. We reap the rewards for our ancestors hard work and innovations, but we must also pay the price for their fuck ups. I can't see how things could be any other way. Racism doesn't just go away. It's learned through the generations. It will hopefully be unlearned through generations, nothing happens overnight.
