No. I suggest that you don't paint everyone of a single race with one brush and try to recognize that things aren't always about race.

Nope. I still don't see why you should get paid for something that didn't happen to you.
Quote:Slavery was government sanctioned, last time I looked, the government of the U.S. is still here, and all the wealth generated through stolen labor is still here. You may not have owned slaves, but you benefit off of an economy built by slavery.
So do you, bud.
It's positively fucked that you seem to think I should have to pay you for something I never did.
Quote:But the MAJORITY of white people voted for Trump (who surrounded himself with white supremacists)... people who voted against their own interests in order to maintain white supremacy
Trump didn't get the majority. Do you know something I don't know?
Majority means dick. The majority of black people could be circus performers and I still wouldn't assume you were based on your skin color. It's not like I'm colorblind, but I do try not to make assumptions or blanket statements. Call me on it if I do.
Quote:I can pull up a thread right now of people on this forum making excuses for Harvey Milk's rape. Also not one mention of the rape allegations in Kirk Douglas's R.I.P. thread.
Do you think that means every white person on this forum is racist? I don't start threads about rape, usually. I also don't attend them much. Is that racist of me?
The me too movement produced 2 documentary films and is working on a third ALL ARE ABOUT BLACK MEN.
I don't deny there's racial inequality. What I object to is you blaming it on every white person. I'm just working and paying my bills. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no color check at my door and I vote in favor of minority interests more often than not.
