RE: DFL Rep Says White Kids Should ‘Feel Bad’ About American History

An elected official says the quiet part out loud.

White American children have every reason to be proud of their country and their race. The only reason we are not more accomplished than we are is that we bear the burden of a race human evolution never prepared for civilization.

If White kids are to be shamed for their history, then so should Turks for the Ottoman Empire, Haitians for killing all the French in 1804, and Japanese for Pearl Harbor.

I like how they say White people collectively should feel guilty whether they're Swedish, English, Greek, Croatian. It doesn't matter. White people really are seen and treated differently from other races.

Even White leftists don’t want to allow for any distinction between us.

White people can be collectively blamed for the past but all nonwhites are supposed to be judged as individuals; talk about double standards.

Good. Hollins supports inherited guilt. Every black child whose ancestors committed a crime is guilty too. As blacks for generations have committed some type of crime I would purport to say that most, if not all, black children should feel bad about what happened in the past. It was terrible. However, it's also happening in the present, so black children should also feel bad about what's happening NOW. It IS terrible.

I was just making that argument to someone the other day. That every black whose ancestor murdered or raped someone White (in many cases this happened basically yesterday, not hundreds of years ago), should have to pay reparations to the White descendants of the victim(s)or even the victims themselves.

Did the person agree or did they give you an attitude about it?

No response. They simply got really quiet for a few seconds and changes the subject. So I'm sure they saw the logic in what I was saying but couldn't bring themself to openly admit that a "racist" White guy had a very valid argument.
