Racial Blackmail

White people are deemed rascists and have now been made to believe so and even mortally scared of it. It is a sick thing to do and most white folks are now scared of being associated with it. What they don't realise is that rascism is not a characteristic of a particular race, it is more of a cultural thing and more importantly every race today has elements of it. The world is no more global than it is secure. The people are rascist as a rule rather than exception. Indians are from my experience a rascist lot, we take this to a step further discriminating even within our own race and based on every difference we can find. So are chinese and other folks. The only thing different about white people is that they are industrious and determined. That is the major reason that the white world has made most of the strides for humans and responsible for most technological advancement. They thus are the richest and most powerful lot in general. That being said, it is not as if they are a race that has been wrongly accused, they have plundered the world over and collected resources from them, people as slaves and money among other things. The black or African American community has been wronged by them being made to work as slaves all these years. But if i know my history right, officially changes began in removing slavery in the US as early as 1865 and from early 20th century blacks have had equal rights. Even so more they are being awarded in form of special scholarships, funds and programs. But still there is resentment and a lot of what i would say 'racial blackmail' associated with the situation. Take on the other hand, the slavery in India. The British government took steps towards abolition of slavery as early as 1833, but excluded India from the laws, where slavery and exploitation of it's resources and people were in full flow. Even when they left (being left with nothing to loot and no ability to do so either) there was no real helping hand to help up the one they had trampled so mercilessly. It is a miracle that India has managed to reach the stature it has today. Now even after being dealt with such a poor treatment, I have not seen any resentment in Indian people towards their former oppressors even when they prouldly showcase many of the most precious pieces of our art and wealth as trophies of their exploits. Thinking without a bias, returning these possessions back would be a beginning of compensation for the years of oppression. But Indians have no hope of that and we haven't really pursued that with much vigor mostly. How do you compare the two situations - how were the excesses on the blacks more inhuman to warrant this resentment even after an attempt to compensate them. Or are Indians just meek.

Another example : Come to think of the Jewish use of the past excesses on them and reference to holocaust to get away with their excesses on the Palestinians. Compare that to the Japanese. The Japanese have chosen to rebuild after the bombings and are helping others even rather than use the past as a leverage to get favours and get away with crimes. We have to realise that past has to be forgotten and attempts to help undo the mistakes and help in the recovery is the only sensible thing that can be done. Using this as an excuse for further misdoings will not really help in any way other than bringing the world closer to it's end.
