Yes, my ancestors (Quakers & Union soldiers) have tried to lift up others for centuries. And I’m not going anywhere.

It’s time to lift up black people in a meaningful way - eliminate the wealth gap.

You get no credit for that and PP's judgment is based solely on his/her perception of your race.

Yup.

Let's stop racist thinking.

People are NOT their skin color.

Skin color DOES matter in our society. Two Harvard-educated lawyers head home at 9pm from the gym - one black and one white. Which one gets stopped by cops on the street for “fitting the description”?

Systemic racism exists today. The harm from slavery & Jim Crow continues today.

If whites were 12% of our country yet responsible for 50% of all violent crime, you bet it would be the white lawyer who would get stopped.

Why are black people disproportionately arrested and convicted of more crimes? Systemic racism.

You just made the case for reparations.

Um, they are arrested and stopped more because they are DOING more crime. Why is that hard to process? You think think all the black men (and women) sitting in jail for murder just were minding their own business and they were stopped, arresting, went to trial and convicted of murder (or rape, armed robbery, etc.) Look at crime stats. I’ve posted them before but won’t bother because facts seem to make more difference. But stats show black people commit more crime- by a lot- period. So yes, of course they are going to be arrested and convicted more. Go ahead and throw some money at that problem and see if it makes a difference. It won’t.

Several reasons why:
- less wealth
- less education
- fewer opportunities
- more patrolling & profiling
- more rigorous prosecution & sentences

Money, education, and opportunities are out there for taking-for everyone of any color. Time to start looking within and stop the blame game.

The whole point is that black people in the US have fewer opportunities, less money, and less education because of US policies.

It’s very telling that you place the blame on internal factors over external factors.

That is what the left wants you to believe, when it is convenient for their argument. It's convenient now because it is an election year and the left is pushing race relations.
Truth be told..... they have been provided the same, OR MORE, opportunities in that past few decades.

Examples?

Anonymous wrote:Many, many years ago, while working as a civilian on an Air Force base, I was required to attend a "race relations" course along with all others on that base. As I recall, we attended with our co-workers. As I recall, we were primarily white, with maybe 10% Black and at least one Asian American.
This is what I remember:

The Air Force captain who conducted the course began by discussing the connotations of Black vs white.. White is seen as "pure," Black as darkness, etc. I just remember thinking that this is not helpful at all. As I recall, this was the introduction and a lot of time was spent on this. As I had a work experience prior to this which involved more diversity than most, I remember thinking that this was ridiculous. It seems that he was trying very hard to make white people feel guilty--and, I don't see how it was helpful to the Black people either. He implied that whites looked at Blacks as bad because of the color of their skin.

I do not recall anything positive from the session. I do remember that we broke out into small groups and played some kind of version of Lifeboat.

I do not recall any interaction with Blacks sharing their experiences or such.

It seemed the goal of the class was to make whites feel guilty and Blacks feel victimhood. Since my background included working to help Black people (specifically children), I found this disturbing.

Trying to make people feel guilty for something they have not done leads to resentment, not understanding.




This applies to Black and white. This is may be one reason Blacks are so resentful of the police. I am not Black, but I would think they would resent being treated as guilty for the crimes of others in their race.

And, this also applies to whites who are not guilty of racism. I know I feel resentful when I am accused of being guilty of racism simply because I am white.

Neither guilt nor resentment are healthy emotions.

Alright so how many dollars is a traffic worth? Do you get paid per stop? If we pay you now, is it okay to keep stopping and pay your great grandchildren again?

F U, racist trash

F u too.

I am totally on board with ending systemic racism. I am not on board with the theory that you deserve any money because of slavery. There is a huge difference between these two things.

And my post was meant to point that out. Yeah, the black guy is more likely to be stopped on the way. Let's put an end to that. Were you stopped unfairly twenty years? Many people were. Do you really want money for that? Really? Or would you prefer not to be stopped tomorrow? Which would really help you?

And just to be clear, if you don't think we can put a dollar amount on a traffic stop, you have understood me. Now think about what we can do about traffic stops.

Getting stopped by the police is a symptom of deeper inequality.

Fix the root problem - the wealth gap (economic inequality) - and a lot of the other problems go away.

Doubtful, the same issues that blacks run into in this country, they have in asian and european societies as well. Perhaps the world at large is racist against people of african origin.

If black lives are to truly matter in America, this nation must move beyond slogans and symbolism. Citizens don’t inherit just the glory of their nation, but its wrongs too. A truly great country does not ignore or excuse its sins. It confronts them and then works to make them right. If we are to be redeemed, if we are to live up to the magnificent ideals upon which we were founded, we must do what is just.

It is time for this country to pay its debt. It is time for reparations.
