correct yada, yada.NEVER!
I have no sin against the “black” man.....none....although I am a good sinner otherswise....
If it wasn’t for white people they would still be slaves.
The answer to that question is when we stop assigning financial benefit to being black, or green, or blue. Fanning the racism flames means financial gain.
As long as there are leftists in American education there will be guilt ridden white people. Add them to the Democratic politicians, especially the Congessional Black Caucus, and brain washed educators and there is little chance for whites to rid themselves of their ill advised and pathological feelings of guilt.
Guilt for things that they never did and would never do themselves. I think that as unlikely as it may sound, Barack Obama may help improve this situation. That jackass is so radical that many of the Democrats who voted for him may help put Republicans back in power. Of course I do not refer to the Michael Steele, John McCain type of Republicans. The so called moderates who betrayed the Parties conservative base.
If all of the voters who are now horrified at what this community organizer is trying to do to America, there may be a new crop of Republicans that they will vote for. Time will tell, but any white person in America who feels guilty about slavery and segregation today is a blithering idiot. They are a threat to all Americans, including blacks.

hey this stuff is big business just like medieval indulgences. so the answer is never.
Given the extent of Communist infiltration into the civil rights movement in the 1960s, is not at all surprising that much of the legacy of the civil rights movement is an extensive use of the tools of the cultural Marxist.
That is the translation of economic Marxism into cultural terms. The cultural Marxist appropriates what should rightfully belong to a better qualified individual through racial preferences in affirmative-action, as opposed to outright economic appropriation from those same individuals.
We are just about prohibited from pointing this out due to the fact that ending de facto segregation and unjust discrimination was a noble objective. It’s just that many of the people who were enlisted and who volunteered in the effort to accomplish this had other more nefarious goals in mind.
Not until we refuse to take it any more!
Interesting that you never Never hear about how many nonWhite races(incluiding Black) in the world have always and still do practice slavery even today.
It is my hunch that reparations are happening and will be happening.
Take a look at the closed dealerships and see how many black owned dealerships had their franchises stolen... and how many others had their competition closed.
By nature I always root for an underdog. Nothing excites me more than to see a young black girl or boy rise from a garbage heap to become someone of substance. But I am not pleased to see a black person, white person, green person step on the heads of others to get ahead.

Well said!
Thanks for the link!
Obama/Soetoro is 1/2 black.
We have a winner, no more calls .....
Follow the money trail. At the end is the truth.
When they’re all dead.
Maybe.
This all goes back to that idiot Richard Nixon who started affirmative action, among other things.
As long as we have a bunch of craven politicians running things from their insulated fiefdoms in Washington D.C. and state capitals as career criminals in the political system, safe from the consequences of their mindless legislation, it will never end,
“When will white America be off the hook for the sins of the past?
When the objectives of the left are achieved, white America will be off the hook for the sins of the past.
And, when the left achieves power, the sun will shine, the birds will sing again, and everything will be wonderful.
IMHO
I’ve seen plenty of stories in the media and articles about the slavery that is still taking place around the world and in America.
Amen!
The mentality of entitlement keeps getting worse not better.

White Amerika bends over backwards for black Amerika, and it will never be enough.
Welfare crisis strategy is nothing new

Gov. Pat Quinn insists there’s a $9.2 billion shortfall in this year’s budget, and that he has no choice but to raise the state income tax by 50 percent while cutting $1 billion. He’s suggesting cuts where they hurt most - the helpless, the disabled, senior citizens and the chronically ill. Illinoisans have yet to hear the details, but we have to assume his threats are a part of his proposal.
There will be no mention of eliminating six-figure-salaried state employees or revamping extravagant six-figure pension deals. No cuts to the nonessential Arts and Humanities budget - of course not, House Speaker Mike Madigan’s wife, Shirley, has been intimately involved in the program for years. No, expect Quinn to propose cuts that hurt only the helpless.
You’ve got to appreciate downstate community services director John Foppes’ comment that “Illinois is sick” in how its budget negotiators are making slashes to the most vulnerable. What Foppes doesn’t want to admit is that he and the thousands of confused state service dependents are being used as political pawns. They’re being used to create a useful crisis.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s comment “never pass up a chance to use a good crisis” isn’t original with him. Creating a welfare crisis that demands emergency solutions is a political strategy that’s been effectively used for years, and actually has a name: the Cloward-Piven strategy, named after two Columbia University sociologists.
In 1966, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven wrote an article advocating a flood of the nation’s welfare system to increase demand, to ultimately break its back and head the system into financial chaos. Cloward and Piven’s plan was activated effectively when the nation realized the devastated state of New York City’s welfare system in 1995. Their efforts were acknowledged by their presence as President Clinton signed the 1996 welfare reform into law.
Sadly, Clinton’s then-radical system reform led to more dependency on the state. Now, middle-income families with children, retired and senior citizens, the mentally and emotionally disabled, as well as the underemployed, turn to the state for assistance and panic when budget cuts affecting their services are mentioned.
The Cloward-Piven crisis strategy is at work again, this time in Illinois, with the help of the Service Employees International Union.
Founded in 1921 to organize Chicago’s elevator operators and hotel servers, the Service Employees International Union represents 1.9 million hospital workers, day care workers, nursing caretakers and many other service careers. A substantial number of its members work for small businesses contracted with state agencies that are funded by federal and state taxpayers.
Illinois members of the Service Employees International Union are capitalizing on this year’s budget dilemma by busing the needy to picket state lawmakers’ district offices, avalanching with accusatory leaflets criticizing those who refuse to vote for Quinn’s desired income tax increase.
This year’s budget drama intensified last week when eight purple-shirt-clad members of the Service Employees International Union and their associates blocked entrance to the Illinois House, holding a banner demanding “Increase Taxes Now!” The scene was surreal - state workers contracted with Illinois agencies demanding more funds from hardworking Illinois taxpayers who are struggling themselves.
Illinois taxpayers responded over the Fourth of July weekend by grouping in hundreds at local anti-tax tea parties, fed up and agitated with nonresponsive, overbearing and demanding federal and state government.
State lawmakers are in a no-win situation. They’ve got the choice of succumbing to the demands of the service employees union’s purple-shirt-wearing bullies or facing district voters carrying signs saying “Taxed Enough Already.”
It doesn’t look good for taxpayers, because they’re unorganized and way behind in the game of political persuasion.
Since 1999, Illinois service employees have dumped $1.4 million of their union dues into legislative and gubernatorial races. Ninety-six percent of the union’s political funds were passed along to Illinois Democrats. Only $30,000 or so ended up in Republican campaigns, and $23,000 of that went to imprisoned former governor George Ryan.
The Service Employees International Union’s biggest campaign fund recipient was impeached governor Rod Blagojevich, who received in excess of $560,000 prior to his 2006 re-election bid. Whatever the union wanted, it got. That’s the way the game is played.
The service employees union in Illinois is so powerful that it appeared in U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s indictment of Blagojevich. An “SEIU official” is alleged to have been involved in negotiating a replacement for Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat.
Indeed, as The Washington Post wrote, “SEIU’s apparent involvement is an indication of the extent to which it has, under the leadership of its ambitious and controversial president, Andrew L. Stern, become an omnipresent force in Democratic politics.” So omnipresent that a representative from SEIU-Illinois now serves as Barack Obama’s political director.
So, in light of the budget dilemma, who do you really think Illinois Democrats will be more prone to listen to - unorganized and non-campaign fund contributing taxpayers working at their jobs back home or purple-shirt-clad Service Employees International Union protestors in front of their district offices, blocking entrance to the State House chambers?
We can expect more Cloward-Piven - induced crisis, more anxiety, more frustration and more political finger-pointing. But let’s be honest. Ultimately, the crisis will subside and, notably, those purple-shirt union workers will be satisfied.

Sadly, this attitude, witnessed by young whites, may have caused my daughters' generation to be more "racist" than my generation.
“You are blessed to be born in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet, America! Education, hard work and doing the right thing will get you where ever you want to be.”
I believed this at one time, but now I think the only thing that matters is who you know and how much money you have.
one definition of insanity goes something like: doing the same thing over and over the same way and expecting a different result.
I was insane for a very long time, but I’ve grown up and I’m better now. The world has become an ugly place for me. There are no dreams for progress that do not require surrender of principles that are too dear for me.
God help them if they harm my family - it’s all I have any more. The only reason I haven’t gone “back woods” and “off the grid”.
God Save the Constitution.
When white kids can be bought and sold on the open market?
No. Not as long as there is money or power in guilt.
When blacks have completed the switch with their opressors (whitey).
I think whitey gets a pass when the grievance industry folds up its tent due to lack of profits. Could be a while.
