So wealth is your only measure of success? If so that's very interesting since racist laws and policies made it difficult if not outright impossible for people of African descent to accumulate wealth in the same way as whites have, one of the most significanct being through the acquisition of real property (land), through participation in the political arena in order to fight and advocate for things of concern to them (only white male land holders could vote), etc.
Your warped perception of black people as a race is as disingenuous as a parent who forces one of their children to leave school and work to help support the family financially while allowing his siblings to continue their education and then denigrates the working child for not doing as well in life as his brothers/sisters when the parent is the one who deprived him of the opportunity to have a better life, whether through greed, indifference, as punishment, etc. it matters not.
This is no different and IM2 is not a victim, he's a survivor.
Name the "racist" law or policy that prevents a black family from buying real property.
Or apologize for your vile smearing of the great white people of this great nation.
If you had read what she posted as opposed to glossing over it, you would understand that she was referring to previous laws that existed that prevented past black citizens from accumulating generational wealth through ownership of real estate. Even in my own lifetime, during the 50's and 60's my parents experienced racist real estate agents who tried to steer them into properties with less upside potential.
And as an editorial comment, you are not the board police or in any position to "demand" an apology from anyone.
...R
1. The consensus among the race baiting lefties, is that America is a racist nation NOW, and MORE government "solution" is required, not less.
2. IF she was referring to the past, and her response, is to agree that, those laws and polices are past, then that's fine and we should be seeing blacks steadily accumulating wealth any day now.
3. If I point out how someone's rationalization for smearing good people, is utter bullshit, then of course I have the right to demand an apology to those good people. Anyone would. How can you not understand that?
4. You got a point to make, make it. Links are to SUPPORT points, not in place of them.
1. Your "fixation" with so called "race baiting" lefties, causes you to lack objectivity and jump to conclusions without thought or reason. There is no monopoly on race baiting in this forum by any side, right. Right, left or middle.
2. It is obvious that she was referring to the past, and the fact that you could not initially see that is a testament to my point above, regarding your your bias. Anyone with a sound understanding of the history of this country, understands the residual effect of past laws and policies. Why dont
you?
3. She did not reference any one in particular. She referenced "past restrictions" so no one person or group of people was being "smeared". That was a hypersensitive defense mechanism on your point. She never even specifically referenced '"white people".....it was you who did so, which in my opinion makes you just as much, if not more of a "race baiter" than the so called "lefties" that you are obsessed with. If anything she should have demanded an apology from you. And YOU should understand that.
4. You are the last one who should be complaining about "providing links". Many of your posts contain no links, and some that you do provide, are not supported by sound rationalizing on your part. And that is a fact that anyone would quickly notice by reading some of what you post. That aside, I provided a link, to support her statement, which really was not even that necessary, because her statement was common knowledge to even the most casually informed about the history of access to land ownership by the black population of this country.
Is that remedial enough for you? Or do you want more "links"?
1. My point about the left's position on America being racist, stands.
2. And my point is, that it is the past, and today, it is not the case.
3. Correct. She smeared the great white people of this nation as a whole, and if she cannot support her smear, she owes them an apology.
4. Most of my posts are my own arguments and logic. I make my points, in my own words. I provide links when reasonable requested to support a claim I have made.
1. Then follow your own soapbox dissertation about "providing links" to support your opinion. Otherwise it is only your opinion and doesn't "stand" for anything except that.
2. And her point is that the past affects the present and future. My middle school aged grandkids even understand that. Why don't you?
3. She did not "smear" any white people.....definitely not any who are or were "great".
You interpreted it that way based on your own lack of objectivity and lack of understanding of history. You saw an opportunity to twist her statement into an atrack on white people, which is nothing more than race baiting on your part. She owes no one an apology and there will not be one issued.
In fact, YOU should apologize to her for misinterpreting and manipulaing her statement for the purpose of race baiting.
4. You just contradicted what you previously stated. So it is acceptable for YOU to provide links "when YOU think it is reasonable"? And most of YOUR points are in YOUR
"own words"? And the same right does not apply to her? That's BULLSHIT.
Her statement was obviously in reference to past laws and policies. Why does she have to provide a link to compensate for YOUR lack of understanding of the residual effect of previous laws? That is the epitome of hypocrisy on your part.
You should be embarrassed for such questionable logic.
