And the Japanese were subjected to unconstitutional animus for a relatively short period of time (less than a decade) compared to people of African descent who were the subject of white supremacist and racially discriminatory laws, policies, procedures and social mores for CENTURIES.The Japanese were still alive. YOU were never harmed. The vast majority of black people in this country arrived on these shores long after slavery was ended. There have been GENERATIONS between those people who actually are descended from slaves, and now. Those who were responsible for the slavery are long dead, and nowhere do you recognize the losses of the white people who fought, and died, to eliminate the institution of slavery.Tell that to the white people in government at every level who enacted laws and policies denying us the same things whites have gotten and who paid Japanese and native americans reparations, descendants of confederate traitors reparations and jews reparations for something America did not do. So don't repeat that pussy shit to me Asian, because the very people you wannabe like have never taken responsibility for their personal failures."The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. It's illegal for the government to discriminate on the basis of race."
Let's stop making excuses by citing laws that really have not been followed.
Let's stop making excuses for our personal failures and start taking responsibility for our actions.
More white people suffered, than blacks did. By orders of magnitude and it is their descendents that you want to punish again.
The end of slavery wasn't the end of the racially discriminatory abuses complained of. After slavery, there was Jim crow, the convict leasing programs which returned many blacks to captivity under the loophole built into the 13th amendment which allows slavery as 'punishment' for criminal offenses, the "separate but equal" doctrine, redlining, excluding the job categories that most blacks were employed in (domestic workers) from the social security safety net, etc. etc. etc. I could go on all day.
The reason our government doesn't want to address this issue is because their debt is astronomical and as we've seen recently, some will go to their graves before they will ever admit to having done anything wrong or being a part of a system that allowed such heinous acts against their fellow human beings even if they don't see them as such.
