[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for white people who are being held accountable today for the actions of their ancestors. I can see why there is a lot of pushback. [/quote]

Most of the US are immigrants. Unless you are the very few whose ancestors were plantation owners, there's nothing to be held accountable for. Asian people didn't own slaves, in fact, most of them were mistreated horribly themselves. Same with Mexicans. Indians. Even the Europeans like the ones from Russia and Ireland who lived in filthy cramped rooms in cities at the turn of the century. That doesn't mean that racism doesn't exist but every culture has issues with oppression. I went to a majority black school and the problem wasn't racism. The problem was that the community itself didn't value education. It valued becoming a rapper or football player or entertainer. I had smart black friends who were constantly bullied for acting white just because they chose to speak well and excel at school. You can't help a community that refuses to address the problems that they themselves have also created. We can tackle racism (I'm not denying it exists) but there's got to be some of accountability in the community as well. [/quote]

Well said.  And the experience of many Americans.  [/quote]

Except it completely disregards that the immigrants they talk about look white. I am an immigrant and my son will never have to walk or drive in fear that the police might kill him. As long as he is in public school, my son will go to a school where the PTA raises tens of thousands of dollars. He will be amongst kids who mostly have 2-parent homes, no food shortages etc. etc. [/quote]

"walk or drive in fear that the police might kill him"

This is such a bizarre sentiment.  The far left continues to terrorize the black community with ginned up falsehoods. Random police killings are so rare that someone is more likely to die from a lightning strike.  Black on black murders are far more prevalent but no one is warning black people that they should fear other black people.  Why is that?  [/quote]
