In this modern society, where social issues reign supreme, ignorance has taken on a new voice. The debate over race and white supremacy has reached the point where the only people allowed to have an opinion on the matter are those who aren’t whites.
Lawrence Brown, an assistant professor in the Public Health Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore, is an activist who believes that African-Americans should receive reparations. He believes that America is segregated and that black people suffer from historical trauma brought on by white supremacy. In other words, he believes that modern white people are responsible for slavery.
It’s difficult to get into that argument and its falsehoods without writing several pages, but the argument can be summarized by these two questions:
What right do modern African-Americans have to claim offense at something they weren’t alive to be offended by?
Why should modern white people feel guilty for an act that they weren’t alive to commit?
You can’t atone for sins that you didn’t have anything to do with.

I can’t believe people think we actually owe them for past mistakes that we had nothing to with.
So who is the real racist here ??
That’s one dumb n****r
The burden of proof is on them… prove my ancestors owned aka ex and then prove your ancestors were owned by them.. then I still would t pay one damn penny.. wasn’t any of my doing
WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER,CURLEY!
Bite me.
You cannot remedy injustice of the past with more injustice in the present. In america we don’t punish the innocent based upon nothing but their immutable physical characteristics like skin color. Guilt by association is NOT ever acceptable. Most “white people” don’t have a slave owner ancestor as slave owners were a very small percentage of a very much smaller overall population back then. Even those low numbers have been inflated by historians that count ever member of a slave owning family as slave holders, even though it was all owned by the family patriarch and the children in many cases never did inherit slaves. They got counted anyway. In contrast, very many more white people do have an ancestor that fought in the bloodiest war in American history to preserve the Union and free the slaves! A little gratitude would be much more appropriate than absurd demands.
I would like to see you put up with what teachers had to for twenty or thirty years, jackass.
This man works for the human health department he knows exactly taxpayers pay for the food stamps the welfare checks that suppress people draw does he not even realize that we are pain for their suffrage and I don’t owe anybody a damn dime what about my ancestors suffered the Indians lost their lands on one side of my family on the other side of my family that Irish people were used as slaves as well in their own country what these people tend to forget is that it was their own ancestors that sold them to the white people it’s in every history book
