First of all, you are talking about the passage of the civil rights amendment, not the abolition of slavery.

Second, in reality why should I continue to be remorseful, for something I, an individual, my ancestors, also individuals, never ever had anything to do with?
|
because of what those within your race have done and how you as a white person benifited from slavery you should be remorsful of what your people done

can you say that for your race on a whole no you cannot nobody is talking to you as an individual

Are you willing to be responsible for all crimes committed by blacks against whites? The rapes and plunders of which you spoke earlier are certainly among those atrocities.
|
we have a system for dealing with those criminals and they pay by going to jail. tell me who paid for slavery when it was over?? who paid when the segergation law finaly finished. all the slaves that were raped while their husbands were sent out into the feild to pick cotton knowing that their wife was getting raped who paid for that who went to jail, how many slaves died on their trip to the us and carribiean who paid for that nobody!! and you think that 38 years of not being segregated is enough healing?

Are you trying to heal wounds, or make others to equal those suffered in the past?
|
see this is where ignorance sets in how is by talking about the atrocities of slavery making others or wanting others to suffer from the same type of treatment? That is plain evil, never would i want to see a people suffer the same treatment as slavery.

If that's the case, then we have a problem, and both sides lose. I think the Panthers proved that quite well.
