There’s no point in having a conversation with someone who is obtuse. This country was literally built on the backs of slaves, and the world economy until this day is still generating off of the institution slavery. I’m a black man that does not support the BLM organization, but I do support the BLM movement. I know many non Foundational Black Americans can care less about the plight of FBA’s, but with the help of Social media this new generation does. That is why you see just as much, or if not more non blacks marching with the blacks. They understand that this country has failed to make amends for its transgressions pertaining to the treatment of FBA’s. And the OSU wrestling team is championing that sentiment. And I for one applaud these young men.
So if seeing a BLM page irritates you, image how most FBA’s feel (excluding our broken bara”Coon” class).
Here’s a short timeline
1619-1865: chattel slavery and genocide
1865-1965: no rights under the law.
1965-2000 redlining, mass incarceration, unfair housing and banking practices.
No one in the United States of American was raped, pillaged, bred like animals, and made to work for free until they died. Then these same FBA’s were forced to build the infrastructure of this country for free, and that labor still generates the world economy till this day
This country has made amends, and has paid for their wrong doing in cash payments to everyone including, Asian, Jews, American Indians, and Italians; except for FBA’s
So, I would say that this country is lucky that people want reform; instead of revenge.
