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.

William Wilberforce and Abe Lincoln..
Pick up a history book and put down the crack pipe Mike!
Those evil bastards were DEMOCRATS, pumpkin.
Yes, it begins on December 26 this year, a date that also marks the birthday of Gen. William Pendleton, an Episcopal priest and R.E. Lee's chief of artillery.
I’ve started claiming the names for myself.
Then raise your kids to be civilized human beings who value an education and name them something that doesn't sound like you picked it out of a bowl of chicken alphabet soup by the random spoonful.
And I seriously doubt their name alone DQ's them.
More than likely it's the resume.
Because despite real hardships they may have faced they were active participants in the same culture and not a subculture.
When I was in college my Viking sourced middle name was hands down the weirdest on the team ... now I’d have real competition.
Ignorant racist drivel.
Blacks enslaved blacks.
Blacks enslave blacks (and others) to this day.
Arabs enslaved blacks.
Arabs enslave blacks (and others) to this day.
While whites did buy, trade, abuse and killed black slaves, whites LIBERATED black slaves.
We are a shining light in this dark sea of misery.
How in the world are they blaming enslavement on only white people?, the OP makes pretty racist and ignorant remarks.
James Brown visited Africa in the early 70s and said he was thankful that he got to grow up in America.
Man!
I never knew the grievance crowd had so much time on their hands to dish out the whine for every “hurt” they’ve endured in their poor little life!
children’s futures are determined only by work ethic and ability.
Teach your children not to work and they WILL fail.
Blame others for your childrens failure and you
have failed THEM.
No one who views Whites as bad should endure a moment more in a country with a majority of Whites.
They should move to one of the countries in the Middle East or Africa that has very few Whites.
Those countries must be paradises of peace and prosperity.
