As I will never submit to muslims, I will never submit to black racism either. Quite a bit of overlap in the two nowadays.

"...I feel like a lot of my white-identified friends and allies would like something specific to do so that they can feel less mired in guilt and stagnation, watching videos of brutality against people of color, angry articles, posts,” she said..."

I know I shouldn't think this is hilarious, given what it indicates, but it just makes me want to laugh.

[Zarro]

This one needs a “Martin Luther King Projectile Vomit Alert”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If I “identify” as black, do I get reparations too?

[Lady Heron]

How many billions more do blacks need from working whites???

I think it is time to stop reparations, they have had enough and it has enslaved and destroyed them as a community.

[rjsimmon]

people of color and white-identified people

White identified? WTF is that?

Also, white IS a color.

You would think the death rate of blacks by whites was as much as the death rate in Chicago by blacks on black killings huh?

“There is a discrepancy in the lives of people of color and white-identified people in the United States,” Marin said.

Who’s fault is that Natasha? Seems to me black Americans won life’s lottery just by being born here and decided to throw away their winning ticket by doing exactly what you are doing - whine, b!tch, and complain about how tough life is instead of working hard.

If your brain worked half as hard as your mouth did, you wouldn’t have the problems you decide to heap on yourselves.

I earned my “privilege” by studying hard, working hard, knowing how to communicate tactfully, and not be a burden on others.

I think we could start a fundraiser for those asking for “reparations” — we’ll pay for their airfare back to Africa, since they don’t like it here.

[Secret Agent Man]

Reparations is code for Gimmefreesh1t cuz BLM.

[Tax-chick]

It’s dumb, but it’s privately-funded dumb ...

[TexasFreeper2009]

I have never understood why anyone would feel like they owed reparations to blacks who would have simply been killed had their lives not held value as a slave to another.

Make no mistake, any that wished death instead of slavery got it.

[Maceman]

Translaves - born free, self-identify as slaves.

[GreenHornet]

I have good news for those who support the idea of reparations : They’ve already been paid. They’ve been paid in the form of Affirmative Action. They’ve been paid in the form of government contract set-asides for minority owned businesses, minority scholarship programs, and grants to organizations like the Urban League and historically black colleges. Reparations have been paid, and they’ve been paid many times over.

[ColdOne]

White identified? WTF is that?.................must be a new term. Like dog whisle and xenophobia. Never heard any of those words till lately. Had to look them up. Words.....Stalin, Hitler Mao and many others used them for their purposes all the time.

[Covenantor]

[Nifster]

What the heck is a white identified individual? That’s just stooopid.

If they want to call me melanin deficient fine.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

That hair could use some reparations.
