CMV: the black people at my college are starting to make me feel racist (NOT JANNIED)

I'm gonna double post bc this one is just so r-slurred

It is not up to us to learn how to operate in their culture. If their culture is that of being inconsiderate and chaotic, its them who needs to change.

This only works if they werent forced to come here against their will.

What do you think should be done? Neither former slaves nor slavers are alive today.

Should the entire country descend into chaos because of bad history or should we strive to do better?

Its up to people now to get their own lives together and stop behaving like this

Well, in other countries, they would see the conditions visited upon the descendants of former slaves and they would consider it a national shame that needs to be fixed. Im doing the work in my personal life and community, but that doesn't change 400 years of systematic oppression because this whole their dead now argument means less than nothing when the ramifications are still just as deep, my mother who has earned a terminal degree lived through segregated schools- Ive personally seen and avoided the school to prison pipeline on my own path to higher education and community impact. How are you helping other than telling black people it isent as bad as we think it is, just like the white moderates that allowed the rise of the kkk and tens of thousands of extrajudicial lynchings and mass economic terrorism is communities like Greenwood, Seneca village, and other sites of massacres in wealthy black communities. Its always somebody saying we arent working hard enough like a generation didnt lay down their lifes for the black power movement, and the civil rights movement and Vietnam and ww2 without benefiting from the GI Bill.

How much black blood must be spilled for America to determine that it is a horror and travesty that our nation has NEVER lived up to its premise. We've payed our due, this is a problem for all Americans not just black people.

You don't need to read the whole wall of text. The argument is that "in other countries" they would have reparations for slavery and make sure former slaves are made whole and given lots of programs or some shit.

Such a comical lack of awareness of the world outside the US.
