More than 360 years have passed since the massacre at Jamestown. How do racism, arrogance, and revenge lead to violence today? How do these bad things exist in a society that is modern and educated?

The nature of man is competitive and distrustful of anyone not "the same". It's like the alpha dog of the pack- the strongest gets the best. The poor are oppressed by the wealthy, the weak surrender to the strong. The downtrodden seek revenge upon the arrogance of the more fortunate. Unfortunately, a 'modern and educated' society doesn't exist. There has always been, and I believe always will be, war, hatred and ignorance. It isn't necessarily 'good vs evil', but rather the concept that everyone belives that 'they are right' and everyone else is wrong.

In case you are not fully awake, let me inform you that your question is i the category of history. Did you forget your textbook and your brain in your locker at school?
