If blacks can't have reparations whites shouldn't have any positions of power based on the past, make it even Steven both ways. The "we got ours, but damned if we give you yours" mentality has got to go. If the government will not reparations, then why not exmept every black American from taxation for 400 years, the amount of timr blacks were enslaved?
Your argument is ridiculous. What has to go is the "you owe me" mentality for something that never happened to you and attempting to tie that to any status of whites is absurd. The continent was settled by white Europeans so slaves or no, they would have their status.

Your last statement goes back to my previous post. You don't deserve to be exempt. Not anymore than I deserve some primo real estate in the Scots Highlands.

And your affirmative action argument is bullshit. I've seen lesser quslifed officers promoted simply because of the color of their skin and not because of their qualifications. THAT is bullshit. Maybe YOU don't care that I have the best QUALIFIED officer taking me where people are trying to kill me, but I most certainly the fuck DO and I don't give a damn if they're black, Jewish, green or female just so long as they know what the fuck they are doing. Instead, I've had to work for incompetents because they got a step up with a racial quota. THAT is crap.

You want reparations? Take your ass over to Africa and find the tribe that sold your ancestor to some slaver and get the shit from THEM. If not for them, nothing that followed would have been possible.

But don't be pissin' down MY back and tell me it's raining.
