What makes you a victim? Nothing that's happened here. Nothing that happened then. You're not the victim in this thread, so there is no case of blaming the victim. You haven't been the victim of racism in this forum. It's easy to borrow the persecutions of our ancestors to justify the anger we feel, but it's always on us.
If by ancestors you mean my parents who lived under Jim Crow laws... Why do you think there is a strong push for reparations this election cycle, it isn't really debatable that racist policies of the past still affect descendants of slavery. Also I should add that the last known former slave died in 1971, so we're not that far removed.
