Unpaid wages and punitive damages?"It's distribution of wealth, and I don't believe it's just Caucasians that have a problem with it."Most white americans have a hard time accepting the fact that Blacks have been long terrorized by the police and instead claim its just a few bad apples.
Once again, these folks live in denial. Some people have natural aversions to the icky side of history and attempt to pass along homogenized revisions. All races do this to some degree. Plus, I've lived with white guilt my whole life. It is a bitch and does Caucasians no favors to make inroads sometimes. I don't do white guilt. I don't walk this earth with a balloon over my head that says to minorities: 'see? I'm one of the good ones! Nope, no sir. Not a racist here!'. That's bananas. I believe pandering is a direct insult to everyone's intelligence. Hence, I'm not a big fan of Al Sharpton.
Its going to require a majority of whites coming to the conclusion that racism exists in this country before we can start having a dialogue about solutions that whites can be effective at bringing about.
Sure. But, how do we create a barometer for that? A giant poll? If so, how do we keep everyone honest? Until that magical day, I think we can certainly discuss it as individuals or in small groups.
For example the concept of reparations to repair the wealth gap seems to be a hurdle whites cant quite get over.
It's distribution of wealth, and I don't believe it's just Caucasians that have a problem with it.
Its not distribution of wealth for a couple of reasons.
1. Its unpaid wages and punitive damages.
2. It requires no monetary loss on the part of caucasians.
As far as anyone else having a problem with reparations that's not my concern.
Who is owed unpaid wages? Who owes them? Who owes punitive damages?
The statute of limitations ran at least 100 years ago. Nobody alive owes and nobody alive is owed.
Of course it will not result in monetary loss to Caucasians. Why would Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, Turks pay American slave reparations? Unless, of course, they immigrate here and start paying taxes. If it will be taken from taxes (it will), it will be a monetary loss on the part of white people and others who probably never owned slaves or benefited directly from said ownership.
But, I will compromise. I am a BIG proponent of business loans and education. Teach a man to fish...
