I had a conversation similar to this with a black co worker. First he said no amount of reparations could make up for the “Black Holocaust” white America had inflicted on blacks. Second he files a discrinination complaint against me with my management.
Go figure.

I know a few small business owners who steer clear of hiring blacks because of the race card. Most small businesses could not afford to fight a discrimination suit which could be filed for just about anything.
The expectation of this imaginary inheritance the Black people continue to hold against other races in the U.S. hostage is ridiculous. There are millions of non-white nationalities who have migrated here, learned the language, the customs, and have had no problem supporting themselves without insisting we take care of them.
My question is why did the Blacks not make a homeward bound journey to Liberia which was specifically created for their freedom and reparation? Why? Because things are so good in the U.S.A.
Enough. Let the Obama Legacy be that finally the American people are going to say what has only been whispered for decades.
Its called the "Sins of our Ancestors," whether or not it is applicable to all, such as me (my parents having emigrated from Canada in the 40's) and countless others.
Matters not a whit. If we are white--we are all guilty by association
Pay up white-boy.
Yep, that conversation helped...
Seems to me some in th eblack community just don’t want to talk about it except to rub noses in it when they feel like it...
Thats ok, if thye want to perpetuate, and live off the crutch of history long ago...
Nothing will ever be resolved...
Have you considered suing this individual in civil court? For me, I never try to discuss anything political at work, simply because I need my paycheck too much. If someone fired a shot across the bow at me like this, and I knew who they were, I would find the sleaziest lawyer I could get (that would work for a cut of the loot) and sue this person for everything he's got.
I hope you prevail.

I don’t know what was said. But I assume the complaint was because you disagreed.
If this is so, then this is why I am most whites refuse to talk about race. There is nothing you can say that will not be twisted to become some racial insult.
My husband was talking to a subcontractor on a small house renovation about how black the floors were and how it was going to be hard to refinish them.
The black subcontractor immediately took that as a racial slur.
With nonsense like this, there is no discussion. Who wants to talk about race when there is no way it can be discussed openly. Besides which, I have heard nothing BUT race in 40 years. It has been talked to death at this point, but only in one direction.
So, no. Whitey will keep their thoughts to themselves until the Blacks can be honest enough to hear them.
