My original comment was pretty clear on the fact that I was trying to understand an alternate perspective. Not history. History tells me about events - it doesn't help me understand why those events make people feel a certain way.

But, by all means, feel free to continue playing the exasperated victim card, and making assumptions about the other person in the conversation.

At least that way, you get to keep blaming everyone else for not making the effort to understand, rather than - you know - actually taking the time to help them understand.

Open minds require open minds.
