[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same! Apropos a different class in a similar school. Proud of their critical judgment abilities. Not pleased their time and energy are being sapped by unintelligible poorly constructed reinterpretation of theories that didn’t deserve any reinterpretation in the first place. Because there are pseudobabble junk.

Don’t be a rapist, don’t be a racist. Done. Now give back your consulting $$$$$[/quote]

Reinterprestation of theores?

So in other words, you don't believe there was wealth built in this country on the backs of unpaid slavery? And that institutions have marginalized people of color and denied wealth creation for people of color from an institutional basis since the countries founding? Please be specific, what do you find pseudo?[/quote]

The wealth of some many of my ancestors came after slavery and lived up north where there was never slavery. [/quote]

Your white ancestors still benefited from being able to vote unencumbered, being able to own property wherever they wanted (which undoubtedly helped your family accumulate generational wealth), being able to attend schools and colleges unencumbered, being able to own and start business unencumbered, having all Americans use their money to flow into said businesses, being able to own and profit off their trademarks, being able to hold high earning positions in Wall Street, medical field, etc. Need I go on?! The fact that you really think all racism starts and stops at this imaginary slavery line and north and south astounds me[/quote]

Tell that to Jewish people that could not attend schools or live in neighborhoods or enter into certain fields in the US. They had all these restrictions put on them – look it up they couldn’t live in many neighborhoods in DC or work in many fields or professions. Somehow they manage to rise up though and overcome them and become very successful. Irish and Italians were treated terribly and could not get jobs or employment either. No Catholics allowed etc but not worse than Jewish people. [/quote]

I agree. I’m not trying to play which group was discriminated against the most. The key difference in your statement is that African Americans were stolen from their land to work the fields that lead to the wealth of this nation. Black wealth is less than a 10th of whites. [/quote]
