No one is asking for white people to feel shame or guilt because of slavery
They’re being asked to clean up the mess that it [i]created[/i] in this country.
Inappropriate guilt actually interferes with this.
English
-
And what is appropriate guilt?
-
In addition to what was said by kellygreen, it's also realizing that you have to be sure to do your part to prevent it from happening again
-
Remorse for something bad that you were personally responsible for doing, or allowing to occur that it was your personal responsibility to prevent.
-
Perfectly acceptable. I would like to know, is it solely the jobs of white people to clean up the mess, or...?

Edited by TheArtist: 6/29/2018 8:21:41 AMWhy they’re doing it? Ugly tribalism. Projected self-hatred. Misunderstanding that American politics used ethnic conflict as divide-and-rule tactic to keep groups from allying in common class cause. IOW they don’t understand that the source of their misery are the actions and policies of wealthier white people, intended to keep them poor. Not poor minorities. The same reasons that led the original [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] to rise to power. Minus needing a scapegoat to explain the loss of WWI that didn’t challenge the German National self-image of battlefield superiority. Anyone who thinks those people are out there for any [i]other[/i] reason is badly misinformed.

Edited by TheArtist: 6/29/2018 8:34:11 AMYou didn’t “let us” do anything. My family has been in this country for over 200 years, and their [i]forced labor[/i] built this country and is responsible for a portion of its wealth that we were never compensated for. Odds are my roots in this nation’s soil are deeper than yours....and we were [b]stolen [/b] from. So take that attitude and get it out of my face. Unless you’re Native American. You don’t own this country, and you don’t “let” anyone do anything. If you aren’t Native American, then your ancestors were either brought here in chains like mine, [b]or they stole the country from its rightful owners. [/b] Also the idiots with the tiki torches at Charlottesville weren’t protesting immigration. They were demonstrating against [i]Jews.[/i] And the removal of Confederate statues that have a long historic connection to White Supremacy and the support of racial segregation in the South. They were -blam!-ing [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]. More like sad, ignorant [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] wannabes.

Lol you were sold out by your own people. Don’t try and play that “Hurr durr white people n nets” bullshit. You can’t steal something somebody doesn’t own the rights to. Native Americans didn’t think it was possible to own land. Jews are white.

Smh. Rationalizations are the ad hoc smoke that billows up from emotional fires..... Jews are not white. They are Semitic. Just like Arabs.
