This OP is ridcuous.
This is untrue.
If poor homeless white men were excluded from opportunity by government policy , they should sue for reparations. But they can't because white men get the most preferences and if they are poor and homeless it actually is because they made poor choices.
Ok, let’s go with this. So…do you think all white people are afforded the same opportunities as all other white people? Do you think there is some “white card” that white people can flash, then suddenly they get all their wants and desires?
Are you suggesting that, because of their skin color, that every white person has the capability to be millionaires and wealthy and such and if they don’t..it’s because of bad choices?
There are a lot of hard working white people out there who are just as bad off as any black person, and their “white privilege” didn’t help them any. The fact is, many white people are not afforded opportunities like you think they are. Some make bad choices, some are just never given an opportunity.
However, there are some reparations commissions who think that we should give every black person 5 million dollars, $1 dollar homes, and $97,000 per person guaranteed income for the next 250 years. Some want college benefits etc.
They essentially want to make every black person in America wealthy…even though not every white person in America is wealthy.
Here’s the thing..you say white people made bad choices, and that’s why they are where they are, well, there are many black people who would also have made bad choices, and end up where they are as well, so, given that, why does every black person get to be a wealthy person?
Even if every black person had been given 40 acres and mules, there are those of them who would have made bad choices and squandered their assets.
So then, how do you decide who gets to be wealthy, and get education benefits and who doesn’t?
The end result of what you are suggesting is that, had everything been done right after slavery ended, that every black person would have ended up rich and only a fraction of white people would have ended up rich? All things being equal, the percentages would have worked out the same. Only a percentage of white AND blacks would have ended up being wealthy.
