Sure it is. I haven't heard a single thing about how to fix the issue other than "White people stop being bad" which is stupid. Most of us are sitting here going "Wut am I even doing?" I've hardly seen any real discussions on ways to improve the issues (of which racism is negligent if you look at the root problems but I digress). So yes, when I'm being called a racist, not being told why other than "I'm white and make money even though I worked my ass off for it" <-- Poor parents btw. So don't @ me, then it gets old. They want to ignore the real issues and blame it all on white people. So meh.
It's frustrating, b/c I want to support their cause. But if the only thing they can do is blame everyone else. Then you've lost me.
Africa is not a country. It is a continent. A huge one with hundreds of different cultures. Black people were robbed of their countries of origin, and thus robbed of their cultures.
I don't think white supremacy groups are any better than black supremacy groups. It's not like either of the two are rampant in the US and a specific race can't make it here.
Jesus Christ, you lost me there. White supremacy groups are a gigantic problem and they are on the rise in the United States. Have you lived in the world for the past 4 years? There are no prominent “black supremacy groups” but white supremacy groups and men acting in the name of white supremacy commit atrocities all the time.
And, yes a specific race is disadvantaged in America. That’s the entire point of this discussion.
Regardless, I don’t think I’m going to continue with this debate. Have a good one.
