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

Quote:You are quite late to the party. But it sounds like you think blacks should be saying, "Well, at least it's all fair now" or something...
No... I'm not saying that.

 

I'm saying stop talking about oppression.

 

There are listless blacks who come from poor communities, gang filled cities, broken homes and such that make something of themselves. The opportunity is there for anyone willing to be a true American. Work through road blocks and earn your way. We have a black president. We have black athletes and actors being paid millions. Numerous politicians, teachers, police officers... we've come quite a long way but to hear the left say it...man I don't get it.

Well I do.. it divides us.

 

 

Too often I hear they are owed something because of slavery. Nonsense. Are blacks mistreated by racist people to this day? Absolutely. I'm a white guy who has been subject to racism a lot. Racism/hate will never go away. So stop acting like you're owed something for being born a certain race that was mistreated terribly a long time ago.

The democratic party has fed this narrative for a long time.

 

Jesse Lee Pederson is a brilliant black man who has all the answers to this idiocy. (I urge everyone black or white to check out his youtube/radio show) You can't cure hate or racism, but you can succeed despite it. It's been proven. 

Dabo Sweeney said it best (and I'm not a religious man) but he said "I don't think we have a race problem, I think we have a sin problem"

 

You can play the victim all your life if you want because you were born black... or poor... or dumb... or a foster child... or Muslim..... or whatever else... or you can do something about it.

Unfortunately many people feed the hate and divisiveness. Especially the Government and major media.

 

No... all is not "fair" these days. And it doesn't matter if you're black or white. We're all treated pretty unfairly by a government with all the control and none of the care.

They will find a way to continue to divide us. Race, religion, sexual orientation, "political party", gender.... And many of us continue to let them.
