I recently responded to an assertion by someone that all of the generations effected by slavery are gone. I told them that my 81 year old husband, who is a black man, has often talked to me about his feelings regarding what was done to his people. If he were to express his anger violently, he would be locked up. If he tries to express it verbally, he is told to "forget about it." His response is usually, "You want me to forget MY history? Do you forget about yours?" So he's held his anger in - for a very long time. And like so many black folks in this country, suffers from high blood pressure.
I'm just wondering if people would be willing to do something here. If you have seen Birth of a Nation, or Roots, or Free State of Jones, you have pictures in your mind of white folks beating black folks. Can you reverse that? Can you picture the black people with the whips? Can you picture the white folks in chains? Being sold on a platform? Can you picture white women being raped by black slave owners? Can you picture black folks as masters and white folks as slaves?
And if you can, how does it make you feel? And if you can, will it be easily forgotten? If you can, will it be easily rationalized? And if you can, will it be easily forgiven?
You have already outed yourself as an anti-white racist in another thread. However you are likely too old to matter anymore. At your age your womb shriveled up and died long ago. Hopefully you do not already have children (especially sons) because, given your penchant for starting hate ****** threads, you seem obsessed with hating white people. You come off like such a virulent racist that you would undoubtedly pass on that hatred to your unfortunate innocent offspring. If you do have any sons I'd bet a dollar to a penny that they have been incarcerated at one time or another for committing violent crimes against white people.
And you'd probably still blame ****** as they languished behind bars when it is you who doomed them to that fate from the get go by raising them to hate.
Please tell me you do not have children.
I have decided to reply to this because I know what assumptions you will make if I do not. My beautiful biracial daughter is married. Her husband once said to me, (and I'm not making this up) "Thanks for doing such a good job of raising her. She's just perfect." He is blonde haired and blue eyed.
My son, I do not discuss with anyone other than family, friends and people in the mental health care system who have his best interest at heart, because he suffers from schizophrenia.
Like I said, I answered, but I believe that just like politicians say their families should be off limits, so should families of posters on this board.
