In this modern society, where social issues reign supreme, ignorance has taken on a new voice. The debate over race and white supremacy has reached the point where the only people allowed to have an opinion on the matter are those who aren’t whites.
Lawrence Brown, an assistant professor in the Public Health Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore, is an activist who believes that African-Americans should receive reparations. He believes that America is segregated and that black people suffer from historical trauma brought on by white supremacy. In other words, he believes that modern white people are responsible for slavery.
It’s difficult to get into that argument and its falsehoods without writing several pages, but the argument can be summarized by these two questions:
What right do modern African-Americans have to claim offense at something they weren’t alive to be offended by?
Why should modern white people feel guilty for an act that they weren’t alive to commit?
You can’t atone for sins that you didn’t have anything to do with.
Read Lawrence Brown believes white people should do with their “unearned income” on the next page.
Go to hell!
This guy needs to stop taking money from white people and work as a slave. I think he might change his mind once he knows what slavery really is.
I don’t HAVE any unearned wealth. I have to wonder about all the folks who have been drawing income of any kind whether it is a credit on their income tax, a weekly or monthly financial assistance check, food stamps, housing subsidies, Medicaid, etc. if any of them think it appropriate to be feeling morally superior about unearned wealth? It seems to me as if the post-war promise of “40 acres and a mule” might have been satisfied by all of the entitlements that have been granted not just the heirs of the freed slaves but to the disenfranchised poor of every ethnic background since the formation of the Great Society.
Lol whatta cornball
People like this are a wart on society, And as such need to be removed. Why doesn’t he take a trip back to his home land and see how damned luck he is to be here.
Other thought: So why are blacks first in line for reparations? should we not pay the Indians first, then the Irish, Chinese, Scots, etc. before they get a penny?
Next Thought: I am not responsible for a black person who sits on their ass with nothing better to do than complain. The same holds true for white, brown, yellow, etc. We need to go back to the only way you can vote is if you pay INTO the system. Simple.
Stop smoking crack holy c**p. NO ONE ALIVE HAS EVER OWNED SLAVES OR BEEN A SLAVE. no one worst another any money for things that happened before and during the civil war.
Omg most ridiculous thing I have ever read. People are absolutely insane if you think people are just going to hand over money they word hard for it’s not going to happen.
Look’s like history is going to repeat it’s self
Ummgawaw,I want a refund with interest from black tribal chief my ancestors brought your kin folk from… 3% or annual
I’ll join in. My humble beginnings, mom was a single parent working 2 full time jobs, we moved about every two months. Because of that I attended most every elementary school in our town…. twice. Kept moving because she couldn’t pay the rent. College for me was out of the question. Got a miserable job in a zinc mine after high school. Went to barber school, served my apprenticeship on very low earnings. Landed a chair in a good shop and at least made livable wage. Then studied insurance sales, became an agent. Then studied Financial Services at American College in Bryn Mawr PA. Started my own company, now age 79, retired, financially stable & sound, own a nice home, married and in love with my wonderful wife and happy.
I also own quite a few firearms and practice regularly at the range. You’re welcome to my so called “unearned money.”
I’m just sitting here sipping my iced tea waiting for you to come and pick it up!
