It's almost as if people like to use the sins of others long dead to excuse their own shortcomings. In any event, if free will isn't a thing, there's no point in trying to make the world a better place, right, so we should ju

I don't know why you would have thought that. Is it not obvious the physical aspects of what we call "race" are a collection of genetic expressions? When you say "your assumption seemed to be" aren't you reall

I wonder if that's really a problem or if it's the same group people getting manipulated over and over.

Exceedingly small numbers of civilians hold M-16s legally in the US. If there are M-16s going over the border the source is military or law enforcement.
