Black People - Stop Blaming Racism, Take Responsibility

[Thumpalumpacus]

Yeah well,  I'm one of those that's been around here for going on six years now, and I've seen him throw that word around in a lot of threads....and just because I agree with the OP, that doesn't make me a nazi, as Min projected. If Min has a point to make about racial issues then maybe he should stop with the racial slurs.

I have to agree.

The context Min used that word in, it just wasn't necessary. And when you're accusing other people of being nazi's, it kind of undermines your own point when you use it.

I disagree. It reads to me that he's using it in the manner of speaking what he thinks A Theist's thoughts are:

And in Adolf's book that makes it okay for his stormtroopers to kill any nigger they want.

The phrase, "in Adolf's book" seems to me to indicate that he is speaking from AT's point-of-view, and I don't think slurs are out of bounds in that case, if the writer honestly thinks the target is racist and can support the charge of racism..

Some policies take decades for their consequences to play out. For instance, sixty years ago when many black families could have afforded to own homes in the suburbs, they weren't allowed to buy them. The families that did got sixty years of equity in their homes typically worth well over a hundred thousand dollars, the homes were paid off long ago so no more mortgage unless they want on so they can spend a hundred thousand dollars on something. The families that didn't weren't able to build their wealth through home ownership, and now they're allowed to buy those homes...which they can no longer afford. The wagons were figuratively circled around the inner cities to keep blacks from getting out and now we can feel smug about how good our choices are compared to theirs.

Compensation is due to every family who tried to buy a home and was turned down because of their race. Substantial compensation.

I heard a story on NPR about that the other day.
