Wrong. i am definitely still connected with slavery, racism and the racism that created and maintained this racist system in the US.You realize time moves on? 99% of us (including YOU) aren't connected with slavery. Institutional racism is basically an anti white liberal thing.Actually we could start with the tax rolls beginning from the time when segregation and discrimination were legal in the U.S. I've seen several threads in just the last few days regarding studies that show that black property owners were deliberately assessed at inflated rates as opposed to whites.You arent surrendering. Youre whining. The fact is that white people have a problem giving back what their ancestors stole. If youre claim is that its impossible or difficult youre just making excuses. Its not hard or complicated.I surrender, you are absolutely right. I never owned slaves, I had nothing to do with slavery and I didn't choose my race. You are absolutely right, us white folks are at all the fault all the time. I don't know WHY or how. I am sure you black pseudo intellectuals can fill in the blanks. You Always do.Sounds like you have a problem with giving things back your ancestors stole. Thats the problem with most whites.reparations would be a problem since we'd have to give Indians back their land and pray they would rent it back to us at affordable rents.The claim that reparations doesnt work is racism personified.
To more thoroughly understand this though you would need some background on topics like redlining (loans denied), subprime lending (loans granted but at terms that are comparable to unlawful usary), black people having their taxes go to pay for schools for white kids while their children had their schools shut down for 5 years, etc.
Dr. Carol Andersen explains and analyzes all of this and more in her book "White Rage" (The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide). The book sheds light on why so many black people continue to raise the issue of institutional racism and why when we say that racism is woven into the fabric of society, it's due in large part, according to Dr. Andersen, to economics.
