The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. And because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother country. Thus the history which he writes is not the history of the country which he plunders but the history of his own nation in regard to all that she skims off, all that she violates and starves.

Race is such a contentious issue because of the painful history of racism. Race didn't create racism, but racism created race.
I think people are uncomfortable talking about the racist history of this country and what we need to do to undo the impact of racism.
Pearl Harbor caused our Nation to wholeheartedly commit to winning World War II, changing the course of our Nation's history and the world's future.
Racism has never been outright gone in the history of this nation, but I think we've had moments where everybody has been really fed up with its presence.
