M. Ted: I'm not sure your request is very realistic. People who post opinions, whether based on history or just expressing an opinion, should expect to receive comments from others. There is no assurance that "spending time studying history" would provide the same information you base your opinion on. Unfortunately, there is no definitive "history" book that I, at least, know of. You can buy a history book that presents one P.O.V. on almost any subject, and purchase a history book on the same shelf that refutes the information presented in the first book.

I would be happy to take a look at the history books that you base your opinion on that prejudice is promulgated, and promoted by the "controlling class," though, if you would refer one or more to me.
