YEAH! Fuck me because of something my great great grandpa may have done that I have never once done nor wanted to do. I'm obviously a bad person because of my skin color, you see.
We really playing the "if some of the people your color did something bad 200 years ago all of the people your color are bad now" game? Because quite frankly I know some pretty shitty people who feel the same way you do that would love to take this opportunity to remind you that the FBI says that while african americans only make up 12% of the population they are responsible for 50% of the crime, and they feel very similarly to you that this means the entirety of black people are criminals.
OR we could realize both you and those racists are objectively some of the stupidest people in the fucking world and should shut right the fuck up with their racism and your prejudice.
And now I'm going to exit lemmy for a few hours and go eat more ethnic food with my ethnic friends and have a good time while you wallow in hatred both self- and prejudicial, and there's not one fucking thing you can do to stop us.
Everyone who is alive today is descended from slave owners, thieves, rapists, murderers, conquerors and oppressors. They are also all descended from people who were the victims of slavery, theft, rape, murder, conquest and oppression. If people are responsible for the actions of their ancestors, then we are all guilty of damn near everything, and it's basically just original sin without all the Catholicism.
Do y'all have the reading compression of a fruit fly or is it an instinct to play the victim role every time the word white is mentioned? No where did I ascribe intergenerational blame.
I was responding to someone else's post which was discussing intergenerational blame. I'm sorry if this made you feel like you weren't the center of attention for 2 seconds. But I'm sure if you keep being an asshole to random strangers on the internet you'll eventually fill that void.
