  • And two weeks ago, you would have called the 71 year old man in this story an “average republican”. You would have told his tenants to be patient with him and try to understand his fears, not lump him in with “the outliers”.

    And that’s the problem with your viewpoint, everyone on the other side is “average” until they aren’t, and then its too late. Quick making it comfortable for them to be average-ly bigoted and hateful. Quit putting the work on the left, when we aren’t the ones oppressing and killing people. Start blaming the right for what they support and work towards.

    And since you clearly have nothing to say that’s worth listening to, I’m just going to go ahead and block you.






  • First of all, anything that starts “according to legend” is typically not presented as fact.

    More importantly though, your family arrived here white, after systems influenced by white supremacy had established a privileged system in their favor. He arrived with absolutely nothing, and in one generation he was able to afford to buy land and move his family here after him. Do you know why he was able to do that? I’ll give you a hint, people of color couldn’t. What your family were allowed to do as immigrants, was possible because people who came from families of slaves were not allowed to.

    I told you the first time, my family was poor white trash too, amd we benefited from it. So did yours.

    Kind of telling that you didn’t want to respond to anything else I said, just try to prove that you’re family had it worse.


  • It effects tons of people, yourself included, in ways you have apparently never stopped to consider. I don’t say this to be shitty, but I’ll be direct about it.

    Your ancestors came here, as a privileged class, and built generation wealth in their family because others were denied it. Go ahead and accept that. It doesn’t make you a shitty person, mine did too, mine never amounted to anything but poor, white trash, but even they had benefits from becoming established in this country, at that time. So did yours.

    The government hugely benefited from it and should be held responsible for that. Taxes come from us, the circle continues.

    If you’re going to take issue with it, and not be a shitty person, realistically we can’t pay enough to replace what was denied them. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t find some nominal amount, but your right, we should also look for ways to try and fix what we can’t be replaced.
