WTF is this racism crap from dems?
 
They changed the definition of racism. Supposedly if you’re a majority, you can’t be discriminated against. Because potato.
 
There's a lot to be guilty about. For those with a conscience/morality/empathy.

Prophet Mohammed was a slave trader, does 2 billion musilms have to apologies?

No, there really isn't. It is a twisted as saying because you feel bad about someone else's lot in life, you have some personal culpability. I feel bad for little kids at St. Jude's but I didn't cause their cancer. That is empathy, not guilt.

So should blacks be guilty about African's kidnapping other Africans and selling them as slaves or are we ignoring that part of history?

SHould they be guilty about the gang violence in which blacks kill other blacks or are we only concerned about the tiny amount of black deaths which involve whites?

You're on a roll today, mostly agree there.

Why should I feel guilty about anything simply because I share the same skin color of people who did bad things?
 
OK, I'll bite...


I'm white. What should I feel guilty about?

This reminds me of the kid getting caught talking in class rationalizes it by saying others are talking to, as if it makes it okay.

Many slaves were born here. Never saw Africa, much less engaged in slave commerce there.

Blacks kill other Blacks because no one cares. That's been going on for 100s of years. People turn to gangs when the state declines to protect them, which is what we have here.
 
Man....you cant even kneel on a black man's neck for 9 minutes anymore to kill him!!!!

If you can't do that without repercussions, are any of us truly free?

I know that your post shows a wonderful excuse to do nothing.

What has this country done to atone for enslaving Blacks, making them second class citizens through Jim Crow laws and then stripped them of the opportunity to grow wealth through housing policies such as red lining? Should we, as a nation, not atone for those centuries of white privilege?

Often it is more a matter of recognition, understanding the advantages gained by sharing the skin color of privilege. Sometimes those advantages are subtle, like when suspicious eyes do not follow you around the jewelry store. At other times, it is quite overt, like when you see most of the people on your jury are white or everyone you interviewed with for that big job looked much the same as you.

You benefit from it. Through opportunities to build wealth and quality of life through home ownership, by not being looked upon suspiciously by authorities, by having a similialry privileged network of peers who can help you advance in your work. In general, these are options that are open to whites but not to Blacks.
