I meant to type, it’s the majority of blacks making the minority look bad.
I wish slavery had never happened on our soil, but I find it impossible to own it as my sin. I could have never been born and it wouldn’t have changed 150 years ago one iota.
I completely understand. My folks were here during the Civil War but, as Irish immigrants, trying desperately to get out of the draft. I don’t necessarily respect them but they had NOTHING to do with slavery and didn’t even understand it - unless as Catholics escaping the horrors of Ireland.
It is ok to be a racist if you are a black racist. No other race allowed.
How very illuminating. :)
They need a scapegoat for their problems. Whites, most of whom had/have nothing to do with the problems of blacks past and present, will always be available to blame their problems on.
It's totally irrational. And that is why is the argument of first recourse for all bitter souls like Grundy. The specter of Evil Whitey as the cause of all black problems will be a boogeyman for libs and bitter blacks for many more decades.
I was responding to another freeper not necessarily to the article. And you’re right: these people make money and fame from this hatred.
Outstanding point. But the racist left is immune to logic. You see, they see it as reparations. Even thought we may have absolutely NO predecessors who owned slaves, we must still pay the price (our own slavery) because of the tone of our skin.
How much wicked can it get than that?
Slavery was practiced worldwide in the time of our founding. We would have had to been formed in a societal vacuum in order for it not to have involved us. We cannot be made to apologize for it. I refuse to.
