Yes, history is written by people, not one person. Nor should one person think (in my opinion) that they have a grasp at what will be perceived as the ‘wrong and right’ side of history while that history is still to be written.
And last of all, such standing points should never be used to try and persuade others to keep silent or keep their opinions to themselves. People have died for that right and as Obama said: I will fight to keep the right to speak your mind alive, even if that mind spews horrible lies about me (which is not exactly what he said but to that extend somewhere).

This is a public forum. The public including search engines and reporters and employers and family can read it. Minutes after a post is sent there are thousands and thousands of copies. I believe others who disagree with removing racially charged language now might regret being on the wrong side of recorded history. History, though, is written by people and not gods. But I will stop posting about this. I, like others, am here to stop spammers. I wish I could drive all the energy here into that goal.
