And by you, I mean the racist obsession with black people on this board.

Because money. That’s why they played that’s why life goes on. If Sports were being played right now, none of this would be a big thing like it is.
Football, basketball and motion pictures weren't invented by black people, but they've all appropriated it and have benefited and continue to.
Since we are in cancel culture and people cant do things unless historically tied to it..we can talk reparations when black people agree to not play american sports or participate in media entertainment.

Many blacks hate rich white people,they also hate rich successful black people.I went to a book signing in Shreveport for Dr.Ben Carson,there were at least 300 people in line and not 1 black person.He has an amazing story,was a welfare child with a strong common sense mother.And to shake his hand was awesome,just thinking about the amazing surgeries he had performed.
I suspect many blacks would dismiss him as an “Uncle Tom”.

Saying “things were just different” is also total bullshite. Owning other humans as property has always been pretty shitty. So things weren’t that different. People were just being shitty
I get what you’re saying but, to an extent, I think it is fair to say things were different. People did own other people in the past and they always had until relatively recently. Not justifying it but life was different then just as it will be 100 years from now. No one knows which views we all hold now that will be perceived as savagery 2-4 generations from now.
Right or wrong, I don’t think it’s fair to use today’s moral standards to judge our ancestors

They did move on. Strangely, their thousands of years being slaves does not seem to hinder the future generations like it does a black whose great great great grandfather was a slave. The system isn't racist. The system is "put in hard work, get results". Blacks do not want that to be the system, never have.

When’s the Coliseum being torn down?

So free stuff and no more statues will allow them to finally do what the Irish, Italians, Native Americans, Asians, and most Latinos have already managed to do in far less time? Actually achieve the American dream and not whine all the time about oppression.
Nah, victim hood is the choice. Democratic Party has most of the AA community enslaved in a sense. I just don’t get why some of them don’t see this! Props to the truly “woke” black people who see thru the BS.
You'll never get them to respond to this. Never.

Is this the thread where we pretend that the civil war ended, and then blacks and whites hugged in the streets? Gonna just pretend that blacks weren't terrorized, that Jim Crow didn't happen, and that a big chunk of white people didn't fight against basic civil rights for blacks, kicking and screaming, the entire time, definitely well into the 1960s and 1970s, and some to the current day?
You'd almost believe that black people are trying to say that their current situation was caused by events that happened in the past or something!
Or the prison system that predominantly targets black individuals for the pettiest of crimes, while also stripping away voting rights for ultimately minor infractions resulting in a constant cycle of imprisonment and freedom because mistakes of the past influence career development and opportunity in the future.

And there’s the inherent racism at work, “baw.” “ whites understand hard work and bootstrapping. Them blacks, much like the Mexicants are lazy, guvment living slobs.”

So do you think in 100 years, people will look back to today and realize that abortion was actually murder?
No. Because it’s not now, and it won’t be then either.

The irony is I bet if you could bring a slave from the 1850s back to life and he saw today’s society and what blacks are complaining about, he would look at them with utter disgust

All I’ve asserted is owning slaves is shitty
Hot take.
Stop focusing on the past and what you can’t control. What can you do today to address systemic racism? Do you think investing your time on lobbying to remove a statue is more productive to your goal vs going into areas of poverty and broken families to be a mentor to a community in need?
The reality is people don’t want to do what it will really take to solve the problems. It’s too hard and requires real effort. Much easier to sit in your comfortable living room signaling all of this virtue. Go do something.

I know. Hell, they write off anyone in their own community that tries to tell them this.

You’re not talking to a reasonable or balanced people when you reference the problem children in this country. Logic is out the window. Radicalism and polarization is all that remains.
