Dyinglegacy 05/04/18 3:18:34 PM #101:	KStateKing17 posted... No one today should be blamed for the slavery of black people. I'm not looking for any type of apology or special treatment because of it. However I don't like the fact that people pretend the just because slavery was abolished in the 1800's that black Americans weren't still being treated like dirt. There are still people alive that lived during segregation. The bitch that lied on Emmett Till only died a few years ago. Instead of trying to get an apology from white people, I think we should focus more on improving our underperforming schools and change the way the students are taught. Being in a poor area shouldn't mean a school should have shit funding. Also we need to find a way to open up opportunities for the citizens living in those areas. Better access to transportation, better jobs, and affordable housing based off what jobs are paying in the area.

Dash_Harber 05/05/18 2:57:50 AM #116:	It's such a ridiculous statement. The people alive now aren't even involved. It's just a 'gotcha' way of phrasing the problem that does absolutely nothing constructive for either party. The fact is not whether anyone today is guilty of slavery or a direct victim of slavery, or whether one party needs to apologize to the other. The reality is that we all need to acknowledge that most of our modern legal codes and infrastructure were created with institutionalized racism in mind. Some people start at an inherent disadvantage or are unfairly targeted by authorities. It's not about forgiving, or forgetting, it's about accepting that you may have an advantage over someone else (through no fault of your own) that we need to be willing to acknowledge so that we can deal with it and move forward instead of stubbornly squabbling about whose fault it is like children. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:900826904] in Should bla...

Native Americans and Japanese people have gotten reparations from the U.S. My question for CE: why did they deserve it but not black people? Native Americans and Japanese were not given reparations, there were given back part of what the U.S. government took from them. The slaves who came to the U.S. had nothing, so there is nothing to give them back. You can argue that the African warlords who originally captured them and sold them to the European slavers owe them reparations if you'd like, however. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:900892188] in Should bla...

Dustin1280 05/06/18 1:32:16 PM #143:	KStateKing17 posted... No one today should be blamed for the slavery of black people. I'm not looking for any type of apology or special treatment because of it. However I don't like the fact that people pretend the just because slavery was abolished in the 1800's that black Americans weren't still being treated like dirt. There are still people alive that lived during segregation. The bitch that lied on Emmett Till only died a few years ago. Instead of trying to get an apology from white people, I think we should focus more on improving our underperforming schools and change the way the students are taught. Being in a poor area shouldn't mean a school should have shit funding. Also we need to find a way to open up opportunities for the citizens living in those areas. Better access to transportation, better jobs, and affordable housing based off what jobs are paying in the area. This is a good post, the only thing I would add is stop being a victim and blaming white people for everything bad that is happening. Do you have any idea how many times the phrase "you're white you don't get it" is used to dismiss white people in general? Granted that happens more online than in real life, but I have seen it happen in real life and it has the opposite affect people using that phrase "claim" they are looking for. Granted this only applies to the more militant minded people, but it still only further increases the divide between race and does nothing to help the situation. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:900892323] in Should bla...
