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.
We're far enough removed that you haven't lived under those laws.
1. the Dred Scott decision is legal precedent
2. Slavery is still legal under the 13th amendment.

Therefore, no one is blaming the victim.
First of all I wasn't referring to this specific thread when I said I'm a victim of white supremacy, secondly when I say that I'm a victim, I'm referring to myself as part of a larger group. For instance, One is supposed to be protected by the constitution from illegal search and seizure, who do you think passed 'stop and frisk' laws? Black people? Who do you think was vastly affected disproportionately? White people? That just goes to show that we're not really afforded "equal protections under the law" or else stop and frisk would be unconstitutional, did i mention the Dred scott case?...

A while back I had a 15 year old nephew who is special needs and was put into the foster care system (I should preface this by saying that I received my license to be a foster parent, and normally they would place the child with relatives before they went into the system... not in our case.). My 15 year old special needs nephew was placed in the home of a lady with an adult special needs daughter. Long story short, they were caught having sex, the mom accused my nephew of rape, he was tried as an adult and given 20 years.
Just another victim of white supremacy...
