I think you are intentionally misreading this. My point is that we shouldn’t hold people responsible for actions they didn’t take. Sins of the father and all that.
Doesn’t mean we should forget them. But getting angry at someone now because of something that his great grandfather did to your great grandfather is a great way for these grudges to never die.

YOu're just mis-perceiving assistance given to historically oppressed people as a personal slight against yourself. Helping a black person is not punishing a white person, and you're showing your own ass when you suggest it is.
- DecoySalamander 2y agoTaking resources - tax dollars and opportunities usually granted on the basis of merit - from white person and redistributing them to black person on the basis of race absolutely does punish the white person. Talk of "historical oppression" is just a polemic to distract from this racist favoritism.
