Subject: Reparations Author: Aisha [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:25:51 07/27/05 Wed In reply to: MIVANQUA 's message, "Who Wants To Know About Reparations" on 18:01:26 08/11/01 Sat Some unenlightened person answered replied to a message posted on reparations and said that they or their parents had nothing to do with slavery and that the poster should go get a job. Well, as long as whites benefit now in a racist system which gives them white privilege which they just take for granted and which was built on the system of that same slavery idea of white supremacy, he/she is no better than that "massa" that cracked the whip. If you just summarily go about your merry way and continue to remain ignorant of the fact that everything whites have is given to them, even the education to get the high-salried jobs without the emotional and mental stress afflicted on other races, you're just a much a racist as your forefathers who did nothing to stop it then, and refuse to speak up on the injustices of African Americans now. It's the same with Toms and Thomasinas who are too ignorant to know that white privilege does not apply to them. Right on for reparations until white privilege is abolished.
