...and future, can someone help me? What is my friend saying here ? we are both getting irritated that the other isnt understanding the other.

The past affects the present and the future. If u don't understand the past u won't understand the present or how to change things for the future.
I am saying that although back in the day when there was slavery yes it was bad real bad. but I was not owned nor was I an owner and he wasnt owned nor was he an owner. I told him not to forget the past but to move on from it. I told him how i feel that it is unfair that there is a united nigro fund but if the white people created a united white people fund then the white people would be racist. and same with an all black pagent having an all white pagent would be racist and so on.
 
Do you understand why there is a united ne**o fund? If not maybe you should have your friend explain it to you. You both seem to have valid points but I don't think you understand that even if we "get over" slavery it doesn't change the fact that we will still be descriminated against.
