And both of his assertions were wrong. I don't know any black person who thinks white people owe them. That's usually typical BS right wing rhetoric. What I do hear is these far right wingers and white nationalists clowns who go around talking about how this is "their country" and that minorities should be thanking them.
I don;t think you know many black people then. The whole 'reparations for slavery' movement is utterly about white people owing black people and his second assertion cannot be right or wrong because it is an opinion. If I say the colour blue is the best colour its just an opinion. You have no more validity (and no less) in claiming that the best colour is orange
The links in Post # 318 (my response to his ridiculous "wrong on both counts" post) are not an assertion or an opinion. They are fact, history, and irrefutable.
It certainly was a ridiculius posting however when you said: It is clearly a matter of opinion and not 'fact'. Black people (well most of them) are in the USA because their ancestors were forced to be there. As it happens the net result of their ancestors bad fortune has meant that their descendents are vastly better off than their relatives back in Africa. they are no more owing a debt to white poeple than I owe a debt to other white people. It reminds of people who think tehir children owe a debt to them. A child never asks to be born.
It certainly was a ridiculous posting however when you said: "It certainly was a ridiculius posting however..." AND it was also a ridiculous posting when you said >> "It is clearly a matter of opinion and not 'fact'." It certainly IS a matter of FACT, and not opinion. It is also a matter of history, as my links in Post # 318 clearly show. This is the SECOND TIME I've mentioned that. Are you now going to click ALL those 8 links, and stop changing my subject ? (which you haven't said one word about). I wasn't talking about what happened to Blacks or their ancestors. Can't you respond to a post and stay on the subject of the post you're responding to ? (ie. the links, and nothing else)
It is FACT that you think that black people owe white people but since there is no contract then nothing is owed either way.
Milam and Bryant both died from cancer 17 and 33 years ago respectively so how exactly do you presume to get 'justice' for a 60 year old murder?
So how exactly do you propose that the Injustice of Emmet Till be remedied. Everyone is dead including his parents and the perpetrators. Go forward 60 years and the Travonistas whine on about 'all the murdered black people' and can;t think of anything to compare that little violent thug to but emmet till.
it has nothing to do with me but one of the things that's happening is that extreme racism, like the kind you've been espousing, is being pointed out and criticized
So why are you demonding it? You can;t even define the word racism according to any recognized dictionary. I am pointing out and criticising your inability to actually demonstrate anything. All imbeciles like you do is shout 'racist' without actually proving anything at all.
Many people (typically white) are afraid of offending people or being called racist. Everyone is concerned with what others think of them. Except right wing people, they typically say horrible things and defend them by quoting the bible. But black people are typically not worried about being called racist, they will not get called out on it anyway. You're probably better off moving back home. Good luck in America.

We are experiencing a similar situation over here in Australia. Do-gooder groups have people so afraid and scared to say anything negative or against the Aboriginal people, because they are frightened of being instantly labled racist. It's got to the point over here that people are now scared and frightened that their professions and careers may be jeopardised, that they won't even question Aboriginal peoples questionable motives, actions or behaviour anymore. Australia's indigenous people (Aborigines) have told the world they are the first Australians. A Google search under "Mungo man" proves that remains of lake Mungo Man 1 & 3 were discovered in Australia in the 1960's. Preliminary DNA scientific testing indicated that Mungo Man pre-dated modern day Australian Aborigines by tens of thousands of years, and were a different species, with no shared DNA links. More mtDNA testing is required, but the Australian indigenous custodians of Lake Mungo Man 1 & 2 refuse to offer any fragment for any further testing. Australian children are going to be educated on a "maybe" regarding their countries history, and not on truth, because the Australian Government is too scared to force the indigenous custodians to offer remains for mtDNA independent scientific testing. I'm astounded we have system that would prefer to perpetuate a lie, because they don't want to up-set the indigenous people; rather than a system that wants to know the truth for everyone's benefit.
An ideological agenda almost never goes hand-in-hand with the truth. The two seem to be polar opposites for some reason and therefore repel one another. In the United States the Left has essentially become insane about race and ethnicity and have flushed the truth down the toilet for cynical political and for juvenile emotionally-based ideological reasons. Still, we seem to have gotten a bit further along with things than is true of Australia and over here it is no longer an automatic done-deal that a person's career will be destroyed if he or she does not bow to the leftwing Political Correctness dictates. Still, only a very few years ago it was just that bad over here as well. What happened though was the Left went over the top accusing any and all critics of President Obama of being racist . . . and that finally jarred the general population out of their stupor regarding just how sick and twisted leftwingers had gradually become about issues of race and ethnicity. So the freedom to balk leftwing political correctness is still a very new freedom indeed in this nation.
