I think it's important to bear witness to all the ways we've hurt others through deliberate cruelty or unconscious ignorance. But I also think it's important to make conscious changes - if we're not evolving, what's the point? So everything is a teaching point - where we were, and where we are, and how we might wish to become.

I don't think I'd hold anyone responsible for their ancestors' cruelty or insensitivity, so long as they themselves don't deal in prejudice or cruelty now. It's important to know the history so that we don't make the same mistakes again. My two cents. All the best for the A-Z, brilliant theme!Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-12531299362261064532020-03-31T18:44:27.392-04:002020-03-31T18:44:27.392-04:00Well as a kid I was brought up to treat everyone t...Well as a kid I was brought up to treat everyone the same....my folks were very firm about that- I never heard the "N" word til I was in high school. Really upset me as I'd been brought up to treat everyone as equals. I had all sorts of unpleasant introductions to racism as a teenager. I remember Tiger in that poem. I really don't have an answer to your question other than<br />one should explain to their kids simply to treat everyone with respect and kindness.
