OK. However, don't you see that it's impossible to resolve a problem unless both sides are willing to communicate without all the anger, frustration and hatred?
Both sides? Im not sure its that simple tbh. There are many different factions. For example im so called white and im against the racists which are white!
Understandable. You have your position (one I happen to agree with) and other people have their position. Resolving the issues between those sides has to start with the willingness to communicate openly. I'm not suggesting that it's easy, but I believe it's vital if we are to ever understand one another's position and possibly heal in the process.
Esau, you are correct. Education is the key. High schools should teach the true history of how the USA was created and who the Founding Fathers really were, as well as how African-Americans have helped build this country. I think this would help eradicate racism. I also agree with you about Facebook allowing the wrong influences on their pages. I wonder sometimes if the StormFront people went to Facebook after their site was shut down.
True indeed. Im sure its never been mentioned in mainstream america but its support for apartheid south africa during the first 40 years of its regime is something most european countries hide. This is a reflection of the true nature of the beast, anything else is smooth talk, we demand ACTIONS!
Esau! You know that word is troublesome. From my experience on this board and another one I post on, most Whites don't believe the descendants of slaves deserve reparations.
OK. So, how would that work? Do you believe that will heal the issues between races? Other than speaking up when it occurs, what can be done on a personal level to right the wrongs?
It would heal sentiment among black folk. Anybody who can trace their history, like Moriah has done, is to receive payment. Taxing all big corps and individuals who had ties to slavers inheritance. Should create a big pot to share out. Lloyds bank alone makes $1b a year they could cover it themselves.
Thank you, Esau. I wish the USA had the moral and political will to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves. It would go a long ways toward healing the racial divide.
True. Maybe the powers that be wish to keep the ppl divided. When did our modern governments ever do anything other than feather their own nests.
In all toxic relationships, there has to be a scapegoat. Some people can only lift themselves up if they have a common enemy to blame.
