As I've had some time since I posted this, and since it's generated zero discussion, I'm wondering it was a mistake to post it. I realize that so much of what surrounds discussion like this is a extremely sensitive subject. I do hope I explained myself and worded it in a way that is constructive and doesn't come across as insensitive.
Basically, the video I saw featured a woman, screaming into another woman's face, about what her ancestors did do her ancestors. I wondered, and have wondered numerous times, if the majority of people realize how wrong it is to describe all white people as the descendents of slaves owners. It's a broad brush I see used often, and it's seems both unfair and completely counterproductive to trying to promote actual diversity.
