Tell me how black folks were the root cause of being slaves in this country for over 200yrs. Tell me how we were the root cause for almost 100yrs of Jim Crow. Tell me how we were the root cause for racism and discrimination that we face in this country.All people are the root cause of their own suffering, in most cases.
Explain it for me, if that's the case.No. That’s just a place of residence. You obviously can’t wrap your head around much of anything else. You’re always looking to blame “the other.” You’re never inclined to accept your own responsibility.
And to be clear, I use “you” in the singular sense.
Slavery and Jim Crow was Law, that wasn't just some shit a few individuals were doing.Nonsense. But even if some derive some benefits today from the actions of ancestors, that still doesn’t make anyone alive today either an oppressor of anyone.
You truly can't be that ignorant. Where you born after WWII?So what? If I was born before or around the time of Rosa Parks making herself be known in that bus, the happenstance of being born around that time doesn’t make me responsible for her mistreatment — or the mistreatment of anybody else from those days. Much less for the lives of their descendants.
You benefit from shit that happened before you were born, too. What does that have to do with personal responsibility?
Your mirror shows you the only racist in this conversation. Still.
