That's when I know "They don't get it". Just admit the legacy still exists. It's not about whether you owned a slave or not.


Why can't some of YOU admit it still exists?
If it still hinders this country after 100 years, then it will still hinder it in 100 more years, so why should we care about discussing it with you?

I'm part off-the-boat Irish and Native American, what do you want from me? Because I look White, I'm supposed to feel guilty? Why don't YOU stop living in the past and try accepting responsibility for yourself instead of blaming others for sins they didn't even commit.

This thread is not racist. It is asking people to honestly discuss racism. It exists, right? Certainly we can all agree on that much.

Yes it is racist when he tells someone who says he's black that "white people must love you". In other words, he's calling the guy an Uncle Tom.

Where does he say "white people must love you?" It seems to me that you are supplying that. I consider Ron something of a friend or at least an ally, and I don't think he is asking for love of any kind, here.

Sheesh Ron, what's going on with you lately, did you take a trip back home to Detroit recently? I know, it has that effect on me too.

Ok, the legacy still exists. Does that really make you feel better?

Well at least the racism extends to other blacks. An equal opportunity insulter.
