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.
They can have all my unearned wealth.
ESAD!!
That explains it. He is from Baltimore! I lived in Maryland for four years, and Baltimore has lots of citizens who are as smart as he is!
What a nitwit. A professor who supposedly has some education in his background supports this reparations nonsense?
Not all white people or their ancestors owned slaves. Only a small percentage of people did have slaves. Ridiculous to assert that all white people owe descendants of slaves any money for anything.
Not all black people are descended from slaves. Therefore not all black people could even consider themselves eligible for any kind of monetary remuneration.
For those who can prove they were actually descended from slaves I would like to know how something that ended over 100 years ago is adversely affecting them now. They are free to do anything legal; they have a free education if they choose to take advantage of it. With education they are free to work where they choose and in their desired vocation AS MUCH AS anyone else. Not buying their idea that anyone “owes” them.
Very few people of any shade have “unearned wealth”.
