I see, so you're saying white people didn't give black people enough money...
..welfare, medical, preferential treatment for jobs/education/housing etc

How much more do you think it would take?

People have ALWAYS been crying foul for everything black people do....unless they are putting down black people....then they get put on pedestal.

That is progress right there! Savannah may have had enough PoC in politics from 1994-2015 that a White guy would be not be mayor until 20 years later.

Except a black mayor would be making decisions that would effect the lives of white residents.

Certainly they did not give them enough to offset all that was taken from them....and when you gave all those things out....white women took most of the pros of those programs (welfare...affirmative action...etc), yet, they were not side by side with blacks as SLAVES.

Churches shouldn't be exempt from taxes in the first place. Just doing the right thing there would solve 99% of all the problems church-people cause.

And when the black mayor wants an "all black meeting"....then you would have an argument. Right now we are not talking about the behavior of the Mayor (has not been elected)....we are talking about the black community taking responsibility to elect a black candidate that will be best for black people.

What I am telling you is be careful what you say. You can't tell black people, like conservatives do, to be responsible for fixing black problems.....and stop trying to punish whites and make them responsible....and not have the result of that FOCUS and EFFORT not be discriminatory. It's illogical because FOCUS is inherently discriminatory.



So they way I say it whites don't want to be responsible (punished, as you often see it) for fixing black problems. Whites don't want the government trying to fix black problems because whites see only themselves as the taxpayers supporting government....hence government help means punishing whites....now I am learning that you all do not want blacks to take responsibility and FOCUS on fixing the issues of the black community....because that is discrimination against whites. So...basically....you just want things to remain as they are for blacks.
Well it IS a fact that blacks don't pay much in taxes, AND they consume a disproportionate percentage of the services that are supported by taxes, so net net that's where the common perception of them as a drain on society comes from.

Its always been this way and it is not likely to change.

No. The Irish were not chattel slaves on American soil with blacks. What history books are you reading?
