Who cares about our history and if it is based in racism, it already happened and there is nothing we can do but move on and learn from our mistakes. Reparations just continue to push a past problem into the present.

It's now currently 2023. Many many years have passed since the days where racism was prominent. Generations have passed and people have changed, there's now more equal opportunities for many and all races and ethnicities than there ever were, people hang onto the pessimistic past more than the optimistic future that could be.

A study published in 2020 showed that black men are still 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. I agree with you, we've come a long way, but we still have a journey to tread.
Teaching critical race theory, we aim not to dwell on the past, but to learn from it to create a more equitable tomorrow.

You know, actually I really like the way you worded that, you are completely right, it will be a journey indeed. 👍

We've got the map (our past), the car (our present), and the destination (our future).
