[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one should atone for someone else’s crime. We should learn from the past, but not dwell on it. Instead we should focus on the present and future. How should we as individuals, as a society, and in electing our governments, SLTT and Federal, address inherent bias and socio-economic disadvantage going forward? It is not a “they” problem, it is a “we” problem. I argue that a “hand up” is better than a “hand out”. What philosophy do you believe in? Revenge? Reparations? Unjustified privilege for any group? Keeping things the same because it’s easy and comfortable? [/quote] I'll go with: 1) not celebrating slavers and traitors; and 2) dramatically raising taxes on the top 1% and redistributing the revenue to the lower 50% -- which will disproportionately benefit non-whites without leaving out white people living in poverty due to their "privilege." [/quote]
