@Justice4All As an FYI my ancestors were brickies and dockies who did not benefit an ounce off the British Empire.
So you may be middle income and want working class white people to pay you reperations for something they didn't do, doesn't affect you in any way and happened over 200 years ago, we get it.
@BritishFailedAesthetic 🤣never said anything about reparations. What I'm talking about are self-reliance and self-determination. Whether reparations are owed to certain parties is a discussion that should take place. The British government benefited from robbing resources and artifacts from Africa. Many of those diamonds and artifacts are still in custody of several museums, the royal family and other wealthy private collections. In the case of the US, that's a special case because the US government actually promised blacks reparations which were never given to us. Personally, I don't want reparations but it is a discussion that should take place.
@NinaCherry Yes, still. Starting with the differences in healthcare to the differences in treatment by law enforcement. And it’s not even about money, this cuts through economic levels.
People want to act like it's not real but it is very real, has been and will be. And it's a problem. We divide further all the time like we're being manipulated as pieces in a game...
What happens when a Harvard professor who happens to be black releases an intensive long/time consuming and voluminous detailed study stating within its conclusion: NO RACIAL BIAS IN POLICE SHOOTINGS?
When Fryer revealed the truth he needed to have police protection for forty days. How sick and evil is the post-truth, post-Constitutional America that Barack Obama and his leftist race baiting cult have created? A country is lost when leftist fairytales trump the truth.
Where’s Al Sharpton or any of the MSM regarding this important story?

“How smooth must be the language of the whites, when they can make right look like wrong, and wrong like right.” ~ Black Hawk
What a self-congrutlatory quote! And lacking any evidence that in this case it's appropriate; in fact quite the contrary. Evidently some non-whites are as disgustingly color-prejudiced as anyone; white, black, brown, red, yellow or tangerine.
The 21st century has even some of [b]us[/b] trying to deny what is still true. All the better to try and fit in, I suppose, and ignore those still struggling.
@Bishstfu The fact that some people of color think that racism still exists "because we keep talking about it” is about as delusional an idea as one could imagine. And that speaking the truth is “playing the victim". Ignoring problems has never made them go away. I think such people want it not discussed in an attempt to fit in with the mainstream society.
@bijouxbroussard Unfortunately, I think racism will always exist. It's what we do about it that matters, but as a white person, I don't understand exactly what kind of racism is being experienced.
From what I see around me, the idea of equality and acceptance of all races is prevalent. Some people of color are even chosen over white people in employment situations. I just don't see where there is blatant racism going on around me. I live in a diverse area, and we all have the same rights and privileges. That's why I was asking for a more specific example.
