That won’t be the response, the response will be “You owe us for it”, in perpetuity. Why can’t whites sue each other and ask for “reparations” for the Romans, or whoever, depending on your ancestry, enslaving each other? Blacks weren’t the first people ever enslaved, and they’re not the last-it’s still occurring. But we’ll never hear about the actual present slavery, when the historical slavery of this one people in time, in this one country, is so lucrative.
Here is the slant that I don’t quite think you are picking up on-
Let ‘em play victim. But if that’s what they want, that’s all they get.
“Oh well. You’re screwed. Because of slavery, you’re doomed to a hopeless life of begging for handouts. Same with your kids. Same with their kids. And so on, for ever. There is nothing you can ever do about it.”
Then they may ask themselves at some point, “hey wait a minute. I CAN change things around. I can take responsibility for myself if I want to!”
If they reach that point, great. If they don’t so what? At least we can end the discussion.
-”It’s over. You right. Slavery ruined you and all of your progeny for time everlasting. Now that we settled that, waddaya wanna talk about next?”
