Katie Couric thank you so much for asking that question about Native Americans. You are right we do sit back and think "what about us?". There were 5 tribes associated with the Trail of Tears and I am a direct descendant of the families that walked. Again thank you for not forgetting us too.

Alabama had laws banning interracial marriage up until 1999. And in the referendum, 40% voted against allowing it. Let that sink in.

It's not hard. It's talked about every single day.

Finally someone who speaks with his mind and heart, and not with hate and prejudice.

Part of the problem is that history is politicized -- by both left and right. We don't like talking about the past because too often such discussions are dishonest, overly simplistic, polarizing, and unnecessarily cynical.

It's not just the issues concerning black slavery. Look at how the treated the American Indians (The Long March) and the Chinese in the good old American West.

What are you talking about? We have black history month, countless American slavery historical museums, those live action museum parks, and movies. I just don't get your point. I'm not saying it's perfect, but most people would agree that it's our nations greatest shame.

You can clearly see the unapologetic attitude of americans in the comment section. It seems that they want to forget history that doesnt work for them. You do not forget history because you learn from it. You do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. That is why you remember it. That is how you move on.

Very few nations if any have a clear conscience about how they formed. The US in our case is a very different nation. You can pretty much be what you want if you have enough drive. We should always look back at how we got here but when people try to balance the past it's going to end badly. Study history to make sure those situations stay in history. Try to improve our current climate without malice or a sense of a debt owed and you will fair much better. I'm the type of person where Human is the only classification that matters. Gender, race, religion shouldn't matter. We have come so very far but still have a ways to go.

For people who say "if you do not remember the past you are doomed to repeat it" and use this as an argument for guilt: remembering the past is one thing. Being made to feel guilty about it is another. You can remember the past and look to not repeat it without bashing someone over the head with it.

Why are you asserting a falsehood via a question? It is not hard at all to talk about America's past. However, it is really hard to talk about 20th century jewish history. Just ask Thomas Sowell.

But what about all the other slaves and mass genocide of the native peoples, why is it always about African slavery that is the biggest talk, coming from a diverse background myself I find it extremely racist and irresponsible to only talk about a certain group of people that the colonials screwed over. I mean does anyone understand the literal extinction of native Americans that is still going on today, the US government doesn't allow for two of the same tribe to marry and have kids and if they do the "benefits" that the government gives them will be taken away. Also allowing yourself to think that it's only your group of people needing appologies makes you feel like your in this box and that nobody understands you and your the only group of people that are going through hardship when that's not true at all. We need to fix the present before we can fix the past. "Knowledge is power and power is knowledge" ✌✌
