That's racist!

[LouderVol]

Not at all.
I also hope we all get to the point where we don’t want to be reminded about one of the worst crimes in the history of man on a daily basis.

Those who dont know their future are doomed to repeat it.

Again you jump to hyperbole. Could have just as easily said "..where we dont celebrate one of the worst crimes". We should be reminded daily, it just shouldnt be done in a positive manner. And it should be a matter of teaching rather than scolding.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Like you hating white people?

Bay is a white people.
She’s just trolling.

 

[Weezer]

Self-loathing seems accurate to me.

 

[BayVol7]

Post history bears out who the "ignorant sheep" is. I'm comfortable in saying "not it".

I’ll just stick to our own back-and-forth and disagree

 

[BayVol7]

Then put your attention towards the people around the world who are actually in slavery TODAY

How do you know I am not doing both? You don’t know me.

 

[BayVol7]

Based on your avatar, I’d say it’s predicated on the notion that all white people are racists and all black people are victims of that racism.

Wait, so you’re a gorilla?

 

[BayVol7]

Like you hating white people?

I definitely do not hate white people. I hate closed-minded opinions on this topic though.

 

[BayVol7]

But he had racism to racism. And even American racism to american racism.

You had american slavery general vs german genocide founder/leader.

Sigh, you are moving your own goal posts now

 

[BayVol7]

Again that can go two ways. You can be willfully ignorant in either extreme I posited.

Um, people like @tnmarktx are saying racism does not exist because we have a constitution.
Your energy is pointed in the wrong direction here.

 

[C-south]

I think the bigger crime is to be willfully ignorant about it

If only that was your only issue.

He did not make any historical reference, so not bringing up our countries past racist items with those races avoided the same issues you made. Avoiding hyperbole typically does that. No goal posts moved.

I disagree on both points. The symbols are oppressive and very offensive. Again, Jews would NEVER tolerate it.
Also, what has ignoring the vestiges of slavery done for black people?
Answer: Caused another century of inequality.

 

[landscapingvol]

It absolutely is

Thoughts are privileges now? Good to know

You just proved that comparisons do not have to be exact to make a point

stupidity another postal holiday in the works Senate passes bill to make Juneteenth, day commemorating the end of slavery, a federal holiday

You do seem very close-minded.

They seem pretty equal to me.

 

[KB5252]

I am for revisiting all symbols that are oppressive to a entire race or type of people

That could be any......arguably all symbols.

 

[KB5252]

^Why don’t you eat him up for his awful comparisons @LouderVol?

Funny you didn't take a stab at answering the question....... If I was arguing from your position I'd skirt it too.

I think the AA community would take exception to them ignoring the vestiges of slavery.

Tulsa Ok before Black wall street was burned down. Why was it so succesful? No racism? No white people? No references to slavery or any of its practitioners? Heck some were still alive. Reparations? Disbanded police forces? Targeted loans from the government? Free college?

Seriously what made it succesful? What about Oklahoma 100 years ago was better for AAs?

Not just any gorilla. I was born in Cleveland.

 

[Weezer]

Tennessee or Ohio?

Steamer?

^@Weezer here we go again

Huge reach here
