[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I'll maintain that the American govt was built on the genocide of the African American community. I'm not sure why when African American genocide is discussed other group's trauma is discussed so that it has to be a pissing contest of who is the most traumatized. This is specifically an American issue.

Secondly, all of you who lack basic empathy, humanity and refuse to hold your forefathers accountable may you reap what you sow upon yourselves. ITNOY. [/quote]

NOBODY is saying that we shouldn't be accountable for the horror of our country's past. But passing off crime for fun as some kind of "trauma" is utterly absurd. This is overwhelming a DC youth and parenting issue, not a Black American issue.

I am saying we should not.

We should study the past. We should learn from the past. But this weird Marxist re-education camp mantra people have decided makes us "accountable" for the past doesn't make anyone accountable for anything. It's a performance. It's culty. It means nothing. It solves nothing. It elects Republicans.

There is no time in history when holding a current population "responsible" for the actions of the past has gone well. At worst, it's a cry for genocide. At best, it's a good way to drive wedge issue politics across populations that should share common goals.

At the moment a lot of well-intentioned Americans are easily manipulated by guilt. That solves no problems, but it creates many. [/quote]
