[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it have to be race blind? Why can't we acknowledge that we screwed a specific race of people out of their income and the ability to build generational wealth for hundreds of years, and that it's high time we made it right?[/quote]

Well, there are millions of poor whites. Did they get screwed out?

The particular problem with today's race-baiting, race-centric world is that it places all AAs into a particular category and all whites into another particular category. It refuses to allow the possibility that many AAs are poor not because of race but because of other factors (just like how millions of poor whites are not poor because of their race). And, in a perverse way, it's also demanding that AAs can't help themselves and can only "advance" with the support and help (and financial subsidy) of enlightened white people.

NP. Also a race-tied legislation would NEVER pass in our mostly white male membered congress. Also a disproportionate amount of blacks are poor (because of historic and systemic racism).

And to counter PP - the unfortunate truth is that most blacks will not be able help themselves in our current society that stacks the odds against them.  Yes, a few exceptional, lucky, and/or exceptionally greedy ones will make it.  But most will not, not without the help of those who currently hold the power and the privilege.[/quote]
