Just because someone does good. That does not mean they are good.
Even the devil does good.
Evil people can do good. Secondly you don't get an A for effort. Get back to me when the job is done. I don't give no white person any credit or respect for anything in regards to white people fighting for racial justice. None.
YOu have political power and you are using it to benefit yourself and your people at the expense of people who are different to you.
YOu are never going to admit that it is time to stop benefiting yourself and your people.
Whites have more political power and its why a factually invalid argument such as yours even gets heard.
That would be true. If Whites were a unified bloc.
As it is, they are vastly more evenly split politically than any other group in America.
And regardless, the consensus has been for generations, among whites to fight for equality and aid for blacks.
Even today that is still the Conventional Wisdom, though it is getting more and more strained, thanks in no small part to haters like you and Paul.
If I have not done so before, I want to thank you for your help in waking white people to stop that nonsense.
I CAN'T do it without your help.
Look correll you are talking to a black man who is very aware of history. You are not talking tp another one of your the victimization buddies. There has not been for generations any consensus among whites to fight for equality and aid for blacks.
The Dred Scott decision, Plessy v Ferguson and shitload of other supreme court decisions show us that you are lying.
Dred Scott was 1857!!
So? The constitution was written when?
You said the consensus had been for generations. So once again:
Teflon Theory of History
30 years ago is Ancient History. It has Absolutely No Effect on the present. Or not much. Unless it was something good like the light bulb or the Declaration of Independence. Therefore those who make a big deal of the bad stuff in the past, like slavery, are Living in the Past and need to Get Over It.
For example:
Jim Crow laws were overturned by the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore according to Teflon Theory the Jim Crow period is now Ancient History. It has Absolutely No Effect on how White Americans alive today think and act. None whatsoever. Or not much. So racism is pretty much dead.
Instead of Jim Crow’s effect slowly weakening over time like you would expect, Teflon Theory would have you suppose that it just disappeared like magic one afternoon sometime in the late 1960s. Even though many White Americans alive now were alive back in Jim Crow times. Even though many others were brought up and shaped by those who were alive back then: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, writers, film directors, television producers, news editors and so on.
Few sit on a mountain top to come up with their beliefs all on their own. Instead most people pretty much go along with what everyone else already believes with maybe a few twists here and there. Such beliefs come from the past.
