What happened in 1947 that caused white men to be discriminated against by law?

You do realize blacks were enslaved for more than one hundred years, and were actual second class citizens by law for another one hundred, right? How is giving blacks affirmative action not fair to make up for those hundreds of years of oppression? You're bitching about 70 years of extremely mild oppression? Imagine hundreds of years of more direct oppression. I don't think anyone besides blacks should get affirmative action, though, and they should only get it because of their unique history in our country.

Also, quit acting like a victim, you faggot. You don't beat victim culture by becoming a victim.

Because two wrongs don't make a right?

But also because as a living man in my lifetime I was never a part of what was done to the ancestors of other people today who did not themselves suffer those acts.

And if you want to talk about my inherited privileges well fuck you I grew up in a trailer park. I buried my father when I was 15 and my grandmother when I was 19. Since then I've been mostly on my own without a fucking thing from the past to aid me.

I don't owe anybody in this country a goddamned thing. Least of all do I owe them primacy of place!

P.s. As for all this past nonsense! Where are my reparations for what the Romans did to Britain? Those wop ass Italians owe me a check and it hasn't shown up yet.

P.P.s oh yeah my mom was adopted. A lot of her family is Cherokee I came to find out later. So how fucking much do I owe the descendants of slaves as a descendant of fucking genocide?!

If I ever meet you in real life, I'll extend a helping hand......if I can. That is the difference between us.....and them.

I got it now, but thanks. I'm 40 and sort of after a long time managed to even get a little piece of land. A lot of people have lent me helping hands over the years. And cousin, you gotta see this. Not all of those hands were white.

There is no better way to ensure that we are ruled by assholes than that we don't unite as a people. Affirmative action sucks and it's got to go. But it wouldn't even have been necessary in a society where the capital was managed better and invested in our nation. Then there would be jobs enough for everybody who wanted one instead of today were a man has to bow and scrape and beg for the privilege of laboring for another!
