It's disgusting how people will vandalize property over something that ended centuries ago.
When will black people shut the fuck up and get over slavery? I'm sick of hearing them bitch about slavery and use it to be worthless lazy parasites looking for reparations/welfare.
Were you a slave?
If not,
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OVER IT.

You know, the problem is not really that black people can’t get over slavery. The problem is that YOU can’t. Since the end of slavery in the US you have done all you can to retain your “master” position in relation to black people, whether it be the civil war, segregation, lynching, massacres, systemic oppression, you name it. All done so that black people “know their place” again. Even the statues of the civil war “heroes” weren’t actually build to remember history but to glorify your obviously in the wrong predecessors and to show black people that you would never accept them as equals. So shut the FUCK up about other people not getting over it, when you are the ones stuck to the 18th century as if you were glued to it!
There is a subtle difference between "We were slaves not even two hundred years ago." And "We were slaves not even two hundred years ago and constant racially motivated practices and laws have kept the firm heel of discrimination pressed deep against our throats, making life more difficult generations after slavery. Even as people work to make it a more fair and accepting society, the damage done is still an ongoing issue."
It's a subtle distinction though. You might not be smart enough to see it.
Gee, Kim, if people should "shut the fuck up and get over it," maybe you should set the example by shutting your farthole about monuments to dead traitors.

I’m also disgusted by the assholes that stormed the capitol building!!
...
Oh, that wasn’t what you meant, was it?
Sure, slavery was abolished in the USA only to be, after the brief interval of the Reconstruction, replaced by Jim Crow; parents of some young African Americans were born in the waning years of segregation, and their parents themselves suffered from discrimination in education, health, housing and work which impacted their ability to build their wealth (i.e. your whining about welfare).
When will white racists not learn the lessons, which come from the centuries of slavery? I fear it won’t be this century.
Maybe Bristol had the right idea, we need to knock down a few more statues of slave traders.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
