I thought white people were evil. I was wrong. Whenever anyone mentions the historical atrocity of chattel slavery, white people will emerge from the dark crevices of humanity to gnaw away at the assertion like roaches on a discarded Cheeto. They will explain how most white people didn’t own slaves. They will offer a convoluted explanation about the Confederacy and Southern heritage. They will introduce the concept of “presentism”—the idea that we shouldn’t judge the actions of people in the past using modern-day standards—as if the white people of the past couldn’t quite grasp the idea of inhumanity and brutality until 1861.
Everyone knew that slavery was evil. Everyone knew that Jim Crow was evil. Everyone knew that lynching was evil. Everyone knows that any kind of injustice or inequality is evil. These things persist because most white people don’t actively fight to eradicate them.
And most white people don’t actively fight to eradicate inequality and injustice because they usually benefit in some small way. The Southern economy was built on evil slavery. Jim Crow laws maintained a national order with white people firmly planted atop the social hierarchy. Systematic injustice keeps black people in their place, but it also comforts white people to know that the big black bogeymen are being kept behind bars...
...They know the reality of disproportionate police brutality, but they don’t have to worry about their children being shot in the face. Their kids receive good educations. Their kids can wear hoodies whenever they please. Little Amber and Connor’s résumés don’t get tossed in the trash because of their black-sounding names. Their children’s futures are determined only by work ethic and ability. Therefore, they stay silent on the sidelines.
That’s not evil.
That is cowardice.

Yeah, they somehow have an aversion to facts and stats that just don’t fit their racist agenda
Blame whitey for everything.
You’d think they’d be making a mad dash outta here
If they were cowards the Nazis would have thrown your black ass in an oven.
I no longer give even an angstrom of a damn about the predominately self-induced ‘plight’ of these whining pimps or the ignorant rats who follow their piping in lockstep over the cliff of perpetual victimhood.
That dog don’t hunt.
Blacks exist because of white kindness.
Do these idiots not know that slavery has existed since the dawn of time? That, sorry, you’re ancestors weren’t enslaved because of race but because they were ignorant and weak. Just as it’s been for many thousands of years.
Excuse me, but "The Southern economy" was totally destroyed in 1865. My Great Grandfather fought in the War Between the States. My Grandfather and his family were hand-to-mouth sharecroppers living in abject poverty in rural Alabama, moving about every six months.
Yet the black dems keep voting for whites.....
And as proof of same, that pesky ratio is still in the neighborhood of 8:1.
That’s why we are having this conversation, BECAUSE of this article. The poster is obviously intelligent & brought a great topic for discussion.
Discussing all angles is an intelligent & great way to discuss conservatism.
100% agreed.
You could conquer the entire African continent with a single Abrahms tank. They could create NOTHING to stop it. They exist at our charity. It’s time they acknowledge it.
Sound advise.
We tried this great experiment over 50 years ago. Blacks got moved to the front of the line with Affirmative Action and other BS minority preferences that were doled out. Guess what? It did not work and whose fault is it? It is the fault.of blacks and whites that suffered from white guilt. Time to face reality, most whites are color blind and will give people a chance. Time for blacks to step up, grow up and give some effort. The handouts have to end and reality has to step in.
I want relief from liberal lies.

Very well said.
“Ending inequality means ending white people.”
How can black racists possibly “end white people,” when these same black racists are aborting their race by the millions and murdering their own race in black cities by the thousands every year?
I think we’re dealing with stupid people and shouldn’t be too concerned.
Sure, people don't want to be blamed for something that someone else practiced hundreds of years ago. God's Word teaches individual responsiblity for our behavior and actions.
You want to see cowards?
Watch black racists run away from these conversations:
You have to read and understand what the Left is saying....period.
When the last white person has died(or left the planet) people like this will sit in his ash heap of his own making and b^tch incessantly til his last breathe that his long forgotten ancestor had to till a field for a white man.
Then he will die soon after, improving his lot not one iota.
