Person gets mugged and blames self...

Recommended Posts

The student suggests that until we right the wrongs of the past, society should get used to “sporadic muggings and break-ins.”

-------------------------------

 

I have better idea. I am taking donations from all those who consider themselves "affluent" and suffers from guilt.  They dont even have to go through muggings and beak-ins.

What "wrongs of the past" is he talking about?

 

In the past,

- we (the Nation) freed the slaves

- civil rights for everyone in the mid 1900's

- saved the world in WW1

- saved the world in WW2

- saved the world from Sadam and other terrorists

- give countless billions of $$ to third world countries who would rather see Americans dead

- racism ended when a black man was elected as president of the US, TWICE...

"If we should get used to sporadic muggings and robberies, the muggers and robbers should get used to sporadic dying from gunshot wounds.".....

 

Words to live buy.... that is like saying everyone should be used to sporadically die from cancer....

My family didn't live here when slavery was in practice, they were still in Europe for almost 100 years after. Why should I feel any white guilt?

 

Same, my dad's side came in the 1960s and my mom's the 1920s. It's racist when people assume that since my skin is white that I am a descendant of white American slave owners. It is also racist to demand that whites who descended from white American slave owners should feel guilty.

 

This also ignores that blacks kept slaves of other blacks in Africa and frequently sold to the white Americans. Yet I don't hear anyone saying those Africans should feel guilt.

Admittedly, not as common, but not discussed at all today.

Hey you left out that historically, white people also had other white people as slaves. So if it's all ancestor stuff, everyone can be aggrieved.

My ancestors were here durring the time of slaves and before that. They moved horse S*&%T for a living up in CT. We have fought in every war  before desert storm. We have never taken one dime of welfare even when we could have qualified. I did steal though. Till my dad found out and kicked my butt so many times I was wearing it for a hat.

Anyone that thinks they are owed anything from me or my ancestors I have one thing to say to you Come and take it :)
