Okay, now that we've acknowledged it happened historically how do we make sure it doesn't continue? Treat those same people differently based on the color of their skin?

What are you talking about? It absolutely does, you can understand that treating people based on race is incorrect. You are blind to the color of their skin for today.
If you treat them any differently because of their skin color you're inherently believing they are different because of their skin color.

Then don't post on a _discussion_ board? You're kidding, right? I guess I won't expect anything else, but I'm not sure why you're here in the first place then?
