Anyword can be used to hurt, if it wasn't this one it would be some other one.

Every "race" has had thier problems historically, it went back to the tribalism from early history. The term Slave is derived from the slavic peoples, who were "white" ironically. I have ancestors from Switzerland who were occupied by the Hapsburgs for years, I also have ancestors from Scottland, who fought along side King "Longshanks" against their fellow Scottsmen because they got a castle out of the deal.

I'm sure everyone can find oppressed and oppressor both in thier family tree, if they go back far enough.

People have to remember that they aren't thier ancestors, you have to be responsable for your own actions and live accordingly.
