no dear, i just don't loose my marbles over youtube videos of a black women telling white people to move to the back of a crowd with no context. it seems to me that you can't handle the idea that sometimes black people speak to and about whites in the same manner many white people go about treating black people every day of their lives. two wrongs don't make a right of course, but when you live in a country that been struggling with race for almost four hundred years, i suggest working on toughening up a bit. so she told white people to get to the back, white people there could either oblige or leave.

eta: look at the very first comment on the youtube link.

What happened to blacks before I was born wasn't fair, and some of it was horrible. But what is being portrayed in the video (which you refused to watch because it doesn't conform to your narrative) is every bit as terrible, but it's TODAY, not part of history. None of us can go back and change the past. And none of us should feel responsible for it. The same as I don't feel guilty for what happened to the Jews, even though I happen to share a skin tone with Hitler. What matters is what we are doing TODAY, our actions towards others.

400 years, eh? No wonder you think blacks have a right to feel oppressed. You just added 162 years to their pain and suffering.

i was referring to how long we've been dealing with racial disparity, not slavery.

i watched the video, where did i say i didn't? i did.

"none of us should feel responsible for the past' wow. that's rich. what has happened to conservative values?

eta, here's some perspective for you. i'm sure it won't help your pain since there are no apologies to be found, but do try to heal yourself..it's difficult to adjust i know.

Must have been another thread, sorry if I got our streams crossed.

Why is it rich? Why should I have to atone for the sins of others, when I have not committed their crimes? It's bad enough that I have to suffer the financial debt past generations left behind, but their atrocities, as well? Are you serious here?

Truly ignorant, even if a little accurate.

Now the SECOND comment, that one really made sense to me.

a little accurate? no wonder you have such a hard time.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

She's black and was mouthy. 2 out of 3 is pretty good, I reckon.

And I don't have a hard time. I am the proud owner of white privilege, remember? Everything I have was handed to me on a silver platter. Best recognize!

a little accurate? no wonder you have such a hard time.
