- jjeaff 6y ago>Why does that matter at all? Because we cannot move forward as a society, together, if we are not willing to confront and make effort to repair the wrongs of our past. >Shall we treat individuals on the basis of generalizations? No, but public policy usually requires some generalizations. >Shall we use identity groups and biased historical lenses in order to justify specific narratives? No, we should use actual, factual history and follow a correct narrative and we can use identity groups where necessary and justified and in keeping with actual historical fact.
