[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]

You are not a victim. Your parents aren't victims. I suspect you went to a better private high school, a better college than I did. I am very tired of people appropriating historical trauma like it's some kind of blood legacy. Stop browbeating people into feeling sorry for you. It doesn't make them like you and it only works on the kind of "nice" affluent white liberals who still send their kids to segregated schools, still live in the suburbs, etc. [/quote]

The victim mentality just leads to entitlement. You are not entitled to money, reparations, free stuff, or anything beyond your essential rights. No money or stuff will improve the opportunities for black youth. They (and their parents) have to make better choices - no one is going to do that for you.

The horrific past cannot be undone, but we can learn from it and do better. We can collectively try to work hard to make better choices.

Trauma happens. Poverty happens. Single parent households happen. In the US and DC you have all the opportunities in the world to support you - but no one is going to make your good choices for you.

Enough with the excuses. [/quote]
