Criticizing an individual is not racist, however worrying whether an individual represents a whole race kinda is.
I was being sarcastic. To put it clearer. I know these people don't represent black people as a whole therefore the comments I make about these specific people is not race related.
Due to the nature of many of your posts I fail to see how that could be seen as sarcasm, especially when you make posts like this one.

If I was in a situation where I was part of a huge rich family who made money from having slaves who were black I doubt I'd give up my vast fortune, large house, secure family and farm and whatever else just because I feel sorry for a few black people, and I am a person with a lot of empathy in comparison with people I know, but I imagine in a world full of unfairness, poverty and death a few slaves wouldn't weigh heavy on my guilt, since round the time of slaves there were child chimney sweeps and mill workers, people dying of all sorts, and it was a harsh dog eat dog world.
But if it's just a case of me talking about something I believe in even if it will result in social disapproval then I wouldn't really care.
That would be called making restitution, which you clearly are against.
What did you say in your OP again.

"It's sad you know because this what happen, because they not helping the black community, like you know, the rich people they got all this money, and they not like you know tryin to give us none."
You might think from reading the quote that the person saying it was around 5 years old but this was from a man in his 20s.
Oh the Irony.
