Wow... That's a terribly jadded and misguided way of thinking... and no you absolutely haven't given more than enough, you haven't given anything compared to what those minorities have suffered through and are still strongly feeling the backlash of today... I can't believe you would even think that life has some sort of price that can be bought off with your white guilt... Only when social and institutional changes are made is when the death and persecution of millions of people will be rectified and maybe not even then. Life is precious to unjustly take that away is hardly forgivable. |
If we adopted this system of repaying every death or mistreatment then it would all be canceled out in some way or someone would eye for an eye. Many different peoples have been through their own kind of hells at the hands of others and through their own making. I'm all for actual equality and getting to the point that harmful discrimination is minimized at least in the civilized parts of the world but i disagree with the idea that one race owes another something. It's stupid. Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what one of the races I'm mixed did to a different. I care about what's happening today and how it will affect future generations. It's best to get past all that as a country or as a people and stop thinking of everything as different groups. Pandering to blacks and giving them a free pass on being racist to every race but their own is not how to bring about equality.
