Totally agree with you for this.
We have to respect each other and walk toward better future ... but ... of course without ignoring what happened in the past.
With partially chinese descendant, I have no heart feeling about what happened in 98 or sort, and we forgive! Totally - no feeling of hatred at all.
I just need to debunk those who play denial about what happened in 98, or people that downplay it just like those in page #1,#2. The reality must be told as it is.
I dont crybaby at all nor spew hatred. This is only your prejudice. Which statement that show my hatred here?
I just debunk your denial or madokaf or any other Indonesian denial about what happen in 98 and what still happen in Indonesia until now. We have to tell 100% truth not partial truth and play hipocrisy by diverting story.
Going forward better in peace and tolerance doesnt mean that we have to deny - divert story and bury our head into sand.
Like I said: If you think that PhD researcher in Kompasiana said wrong opinion, please prove it! bring opinion from other researcher that say the opposite. Your assumption/accusation about his opinion cannot ruin his credibility until you can prove him wrong. No matter his opinion is uploaded in youtube, Kompasiana, BBC or New York Times.
