I suppose you think I'm some stupid teen? I may not know all the dates in history, but I know what I know-and just because you are 42 doesn't make you a genius. Go ahead and feel sorry for me. There is nothing wrong with wishing you could change the past-not a damn thing. Wishing you could change the past is a step closer to knowing you will change the future and prevent the hate from happening again. You see-I'm young...still young enough to make a differnce and I am willing to-I'm not going to sit around and let things happen over and over. I don't live on fact alone. Facts don't make the past and facts can't change the future. Feeling and facts together will. And I am strong in both areas. Yes-the history and the facts are out there. And if you think I don't know that or that I have over looked that-think again. I refuse to look at history from the minds of white men alone, as they most always end up being the good guys, and that is far from the truth. You may not believe it, but I was put here to make a differnce, not watch the world go by. Someone like you telling me I'm wrong and wasting my time isn't going to change that. You're right-I can't change the past-but I WILL change the future.
