Quote:My mother was physically slapped in the face if she spoke Spanish while in grade school. That was a public school by the way. Her lunch was taken away if it was beans and tortillas and not a "proper lunch". So what's your point?


Do I owe you something because you're black? Did you suffer anything worse than me growing up (though I imagine you're still growing up)? My parents also had to deal with discrimination years ago. I even had to deal with it some as I was growing up. Yes, blacks claim that they have had it so wrong for so many years... take a look at what us Hispanics had to deal with.


The crying and whining by groups such as BLM is pretty much irrelevant. The racial divide that was real back in the 1950's and earlier doesn't really exist today, except for the select few that are BLM.


Don't give me this "my father couldn't go to a white restroom" [BAD WORD REMOVED]. People of my race were discriminated against just as much as blacks were. The difference is, we don't "throw it in the face" of people and we don't "demand" reparations.

BLM isn't real big on reality. Too many blacks refuse to accept the reality of the history of slavery. They blame white people for it. The reality is that slavery started way before America even existed. Back then, it was common for rival tribal communities to invade neighboring communities and take rivals captive. They would sell the captives off as slaves. It is still happening to this day in places in Africa. Eventually, it trickled over to other countries like America. That is reality.


What is more important, as far as America is concerned, slavery as they describe it is long gone. Most blacks have moved on and made lives for themselves. The ones hanging on to slavery are stuck in the past, which is why they have no futures. Yes this is blunt, but it is not hatred and not racism. It is the simple reality that too many refuse to accept.
