U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

#44

Quote:So we all had equal opportunity??? Generations prior have helped you to have a significant upper hand while we start at the bottom from day 1.

Go read some history. Systemic subjugation for 450 years ---

AND YOU THINK ITS ALL FAIR NOW?

Hilarious

/sarcasm. ZOMG - I just now realized - just now - that most white people really don't "get it". LOL.

Most of us aren't asking for reparations or apologies - just ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the fact that EVERYTHING was stacked in your favor - and not mine. Get it now?

And I hope you don't believe racism ended just because it's now technically illegal. But you do - don't you?

Embarrassing.


You've heard this before, I'm sure. But there was a huge bridge built when it took ALL voters who supported the first AA and put him in office. Those are huge strides.

Now, younger generations feel the roles are being reversed with specialized testing. (Jax Firefighters) affirmative action, quota hiring,etc.

Sure it was difficult for minorities. Thank the Kings and other leaders who fought for recognition. Thank those for the Obamas, Colin Powells, Condoleeza Rice, etc. Sure..small steps. But steps they are.

Maybe the reparations can be used to repair damage done by rioters when they felt necesssry to represent themselves that way.

Has racism ended? Nope. Never will. It's worldwide. Whether skin color, religion, sex, nationality. It's one thing that distinguishes us from animals, that makes them more civilized.

Hopefully most have acknowledged what you ask. Most want to move on.

That's why things like athletics, music,etc should never be taken out of school. Those things bond ALL participants who realize they need each other to achieve a common goal.
