Never tell me America is racist: An open letter to protesters

[IM2]

Shut up and go do some research because you've proved nothing.

And you have disproved nothing.

Get out.

Actually we have disproved every claim you have made. You're dreadfully ignorant.

 

[Bruce Daniels]

The fact that its in there at all tells me the government endorsed slavery, therefore America was and still is a racist nation.

Guilt by association.

Your argument is invalid.

You completely ignored the fact that the government reformed itself, it admitted its sins and atoned for them, you seemingly are devoid of forgiveness.

How did our government atone for 181 years of racial hatred? When did it apologize and what specifically has it done to atone for it's sins, because some of the civil rights legislation is still pretty wobbly.

Why should my government "apoligize" for racial hatred when I had nothing to do with it?

You did have something to do with it. The United States government is "of the people, by the people, and for the people." If you don't feel any racial hatred, that's great! But you're still part of society, and our society has evolved from one that condoned slavery of black people. That's a fact. We all have to do what we can to get past that terrible legacy. You're probably not a racist, but there still is racism in the system that killed someone like George Floyd.

You do have to live the experience to totally understand it.

Then why all of your self-flagellation in this thread?

I would LOOOOVE to see that.

 

[IM2]

Are you African-American? Because I have to say that the only way you can make your claim credible is if you're black. Otherwise, you're just talking out of your ass.

Your arrogance and condescension are incredible.

I don't need to be an African American to have pity for the plights you and your ancestors were put through, but I will not have you revising history and telling me to accept it because "I'm black, and I say so." Nor will I have you impugning me for the color of my skin or for the actions of my ancestors.

If I know nothing about being black, you know absolutely nothing about being white.

Be off with that.

You do have to live the experience to totally understand it. The only one revising history is you.

Left-wing turds like you have been revising history for 150 years

Wrong.

Absolutely correct, douchebag.

The fact is you're totally wrong. And you've been shown that. Forums like this allow you losers to express your ignorance.

That's a slippery slope made slick with the blood, sweat and tears of your compatriots in the fight for equality.

You show us the date that racism actually ended in America and peer reviewed evidence of it's elimination.

What "slippery slope" are you talking about? Honestly, I don't understand what you mean.

That's your argument?? "I disagree"??? THAT'S IT????? Care to offer any evidence, or anything?

I just did. See my reply to IM2 in post #493.

Good day.

Are you African-American? Because I have to say that the only way you can make your claim credible is if you're black. Otherwise, you're just talking out of your ass.

Your arrogance and condescension are incredible.

I don't need to be an African American to have pity for the plights you and your ancestors were put through, but I will not have you revising history and telling me to accept it because "I'm black, and I say so." Nor will I have you impugning me for the color of my skin or for the actions of my ancestors.

If I know nothing about being black, you know absolutely nothing about being white.

Be off with that.

The only plight he's been through is a course in black studies at his university.

I wouldn't doubt that for a second.

I agree, you LeftWing Douchelords have been rewriting history since The French Revolution.

Wow, from your response, I guess that you assume that I'm African-American. As a matter of fact, I know all about being white. In fact, I know all about being white and privileged. So why did you assume that I'm black?

I'm not sure what I posted that you consider "revising history and telling [you] to accept it because 'I'm black, and I say so.'" Especially since I'm not black. Is it so beyond your understanding that you can't even conceive that a white person could empathize with a black person?

A white man who knows what it is to be black. I'm sure IM2 would love to hear all about it.
