insinuate racism isn't our reality

Plenty of black people aside from pro athletes have done well for themselves; then you have the George Floyds and Jacob Blakes of the world who are violent criminals and get hurt resisting arrest. These are actually a tiny minority of black Americans despite what CNN would have you believe

You say this as you part of the White community dodge responsibility of our country's terrible past?

How about you look in the mirror?


Sure, I came from a trailer park and I'm set to inherit absolutely nothing. Guess I missed out on all that "generational wealth" that all white people supposedly have.

quote:

This is literally the fault of the people who enslaved them, then when they were freed found legislative ways to incarcerate them for free labour, then those who dodged that had their communities destroyed, were rejected for financing their businesses, their homes and weren't hired for work.

It is only in the last decade and a half thinga have actually gotten better.

If someone does that to you and your family, you would be no different and you wouldn't be happy about it. Rightfully so.


Just for arguments sake, what would you like white people to do about it and should any burden be put on black people to do better for themselves?

They want your money and for you to submit to them.

That guy is completely deranged and I don't really think it's his fault. I have a cousin that thinks like him. He's not wrong about how our government completely fricked the black community but he doesn't really understand that more paternalism will make the problems worse. Not only does it cause resentment, but it's counterproductive. The inner cities need to become self-sustaining and you don't get that with programs, funding and wealth redistribution.

I should stop being amazed by certain perspectives but I can’t help it.

The funny thing is that he thinks I'm supposed to be responsible for shite that happened way before I was even born and black people can't be responsible for what they do today.

Basketball-Americans are very oppressed, it seems.

First, don't fight with the cops

2nd don't wave a knife at them

3rd Don't tell them you are going back to your car to get a gun.

Simple plan. "The More You Know".

And i told you before, African Americans have turned into the biggest snow flakes in maybe the world.

If you don't like or can't deal with the sins of this country's past
Serious question for you as a black man

Do you feel guilty, and the need to apologize and recognize as a black man for the sins of the black people who sold slaves to the Americas?

This makes no sense, of course, you’ve never made sense here and on the stltoday forums.

No people are just sick of these scumbags crying and lying everytime a criminal gets shot but have nothing to say when children are murdered. If you can’t understand the dishonesty and hypocrisy these people illustrate 24-7 you’re either a dumbfrick or a liar.
