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.
Read Lawrence Brown believes white people should do with their “unearned income” on the next page.
I have never owned a slave. Nor did my great grandparents. I owe nothing!
Idiot! White people ARE paying reparations to blacks. It’s called TAX PAYER FUNDED WELFARE, UNEMPLOYMENT AND FOOD STAMPS!
I and many of my friends of different races have worked hard all of our lives for what we have. That’s not white privilege but, just a good old fashioned work ethic. This is what is needed to get ahead. Why can’t all of these people work for their own piece of the pie? No one should have to give up what they worked so hard to get. If someone needs help I will help them in any way I can however, I’m not going to take care of these people by paying for everything they want after I worked my tail end off for the past 4 decades. Go out and get a job and take care of yourselves. We are not responsible for taking care of you. Take care of yourselves and stop blaming everyone else for your terrible situation. You are responsible for making sure you have what you need, no one else. Grow up and stop complaining about white privilege. It doesn’t exist anymore.
I earn every dollar I make, so, they can go$#%&!@*themselves and work for their own$#%&!@*the same way I do
If I haven’t earned it how can it be my wealth? Go back to school and learn something you ignorant asshats
You guys have run this post at least three times find something new!
Explain ” unearned ” income. I don’t remember getting anything for nothing !
Blacks should get off their sorry asses and work for a living , not vote for a living
What unearned wealth? Most of us have earned every dime we have accumulated! Get a job….do the same. Envy is unattractive and greed is worse!!!
The necessity of extreme taxation upon the working class to give a bit to those that will breed but not work is the first statement in the definition of white privilege.
