http://www.edge.org/ In reading ...The Third Culture, I could not help but think of a comparison...
Michelle Obama said in a recent speech to a Black Organization that the house she is now living in, Our White House, was built in part by Black slaves.
I am sure that she did not mean to be divisive, however, the use of the word slaves ...is a culture word....that causes divisiveness in todays society.
The Muslims carry a hatred from the Crusades, the Blacks carry a hatred from slavery....one forgets that in the history of the world you can find hatred in many places...indentured white slavery, the Romans enslaved the Greeks, the Muslims carried on a slave trade in Africa...and on and on...
The only point to make here is to avoid throwing fuel on the past hatreds, and try to overcome. look at the future with forgiving eyes.... by saying proudly in this case.,
Black people contributed in part to the construction of the White House, as did many other people of our nation at the time....
