Sometimes.....(Racism Thread)

[blackshine007]

I dont understand things sometimes. I recently had a conversation with an older black gentlemen that was a friend of a friends who litterally blames everything on white people for everything. He even went as far as to put the blame on my generation for holding black people down. Even though he lives in a 300k house his daughter went to a great college so on and so forth. How can people be so incredibly ignorant? Don't get me wrong I can see part of his argument as 90% of the people in any position of power are white but to go as far as to blame my generation for things that happened 400 years ago and to say that white men's only legacy is slavery is just dumb.

I wouldn't call him ignorant. He knows about what he's saying and have come up with many of conclusions as to why everything is the way it is. The word for him is stupid. Some black people are still looking for an excuse as to why they can't do anything for themselves. Some people are willing to learn from what history teaches us. Others (according to other sources) say we black people suffer from what is referred to as Post Traumatic Slave syndrom. It's basicly just another excuse as to why we can never get along and why some of the black population can't stand caucasians. I try to distance myself from people like them. I think some form of reperations should be in order for the slaves, but in the form of free education. The government went threw the indian culture and damn near wiped them out completely. Yet they did get some form of reperation. There was only one state who acknowleged that yes, slavery was bad and that the government at least wants to apologise for it. That state is new jersey I don't think the rest of the states even want to consider to acknowledge any of the states.
