[quote=Anonymous]When I was young, about 23 or so, I went up against a black woman for a promotion. She told me she would get it because she was black. (With great certainty, I might add.)  I figured she was wrong because a) I had worked in that department for two years since my college graduation and she just got hired less than a year earlier, b) I had two years of excellent reviews and she had not yet received even one, and  c) I had a bachelor's degree from an excellent college and she was going to community college courses in the evening. Long story short: She got the promotion, which represented a 30% increase in pay, and I really could have used that money. It's a sacrifice I was forced to make in the name of reparations.

I think part of the "pushback" against the BLM demands - besides the fact that they're hostile and ridiculous - is that there isn't any recognition for the reparations whites (and non-blacks) have already made for wrongs done to blacks via slavery. We HAVE indeed lost out on advancement opportunities to lesser-qualified blacks to fulfill diversity quotes. We HAVE had to go to medical school in Central America (as an example) when a black student with much lower grades and scores gets a spot in an American institution. These are a form of reparation.
