How to Deal With Your White Guilt

[James972]

Apparently there is no end to the mileage liberals can get out of white guilt and the threat of reparations! I personally have no guilt since I was born 100 years after slavery ended, and my parents and grandparents were in another country when slavery existed. America is not a commune, we are not even responsible for our parents debts, let alone slavery 200 years ago as practiced by a few Scot Irish southerners. Why not make the descendants of the few white southerners feel guilty and the descendants of the northern opposition feel proud? Why not conclude reparation welfare is likely to be more destructive to blacks than regular welfare entitlements since it is racist and would build upon the crippling affects of regular welfare which, among other things, destroyed love and family in the black community and created the school to prison pipeline.

The injustices that blacks endured for the 100 or so years that followed the civil war entitles them to reparations of some sort. The government systemically discriminated against blacks which prevented them from getting loans to start businesses and buy homes and build wealth.

If you feel so guilty, then you open your pocket book.

You don't have to deal with it because you're not white.

but the major injustices occured after that thanks to liberal welfare policies that destroyed the love and family in the black community more so the slavery ever did! Do you understand?

 

[Thingfish]

Reparations is said to cost Trillions...ain’t gonna happen on that level, and then, only to sweeten a pot.

I understand that you don't know wtf you're talking about.

It's a national disgrace that needs to be dealt with on a national level.

They don’t it, they wanna remain victims and the Democratic Party couldn’t be more happy to have them there.

NO, there is no rational reasoning to justify reparations from those who harmed no one in benefit of those who have not personally been harmed.

If anyone feels that someone HAS harmed them personally, there is always civil court. File a lawsuit against the person or person's directly responsible.

Reparations is just another "giveaway" which does no one any real good. The money would be better spent on real social programs like funding trade schools and better educational facilities that benefit ALL citizens.

No one living today (including me) has any claim to reparations. It's just pandering for votes.

It's a sad, dark chapter in American history. It is also a wound that should be allowed to HEAL instead of re-opened by a bunch of lunkhead politicians.

But noooooooooooo. Gotta re-open that sucker. Apparently the country isn't suffering from enough racial divisiveness to satisfy some people, so we have to add more gasoline to the fire to make sure we really make things good and hot!

That has nothing to do with what I said.

As long as the South still think they won the Civil War it will never be over.

It also broke families with incarceration rates, bail costs and the rest of the justice system. It made getting a good education difficult. Intergenerational wealth counts and takes a long time to generate.

Power should be proportional. How much is needed to accomplish that? We gonna just pile printed cash on or transfer wealth and power?

Or we could institute programs to assist a deserved catch-up, like affirmative action.

Better than being a coward and kissing Trumps butt.

 

[Captain Adverse]

It has everything to do with what you said. If someone is still alive who endured specific privations during the last 100 years, then let them identify the culprits, gather their evidence, and sue the pants off of them.

Meanwhile, not a single tax dollar should go to "reparations."

You still don't have a clue.

Ha Ha...riiiiight! So you’d rather play “hide the cigar” with Bill and Hill, got it! Thanks for the clarification, moot is right.

Gawd, that was stupid even for a Trump humper.

13% of the population was reduced to 0% of the wealth. They then suffered Jim Crow and segregation. Injustice continues to this day in housing, employment and the justice system. Despite all that, the population has managed to gather 3% of the power. The other 10% remains in the hands of racists.

feel better now

A white person claiming black people wanna remain victims.

 

[Captain Adverse]

You still don't have a clue.

Hmm, and why would that be? What gives you special knowledge that I don't have?

I can hardly wait to hear your rationale. :?

 

[Thingfish]

A white person claiming black people wanna remain victims.

then they should stop whining.
