Who said you owe anyone anything? It's called fixing the system what does that have to with you? I never said you owe anyone anything show me in my posts where I said that. I just asked you simple questions.

If they are invaders when is the military going to declare war?

Aren't reparations a form of repayment? Which implies a debt is owed. Who owes this debt? And why is it owed now?

I believe I may have confused two posters with each other in this thread. Let me re read, and see.

Some people just can't have it either way it seems the far right is being controlled to rage at everything just like the PC crowd. This is a recent Donald Trump twitter qoute: How does ABC have a show called Blackish? Can you imagine a show called Whitish? Racism to the highest level

So they were outraged at a show called blackish because there would never be a show called Whitish and it's racist. But now that there is a show called White people the far right is now outraged at this show lol?

I don't know why I get the impression that you're a robot sent to destroy humanity?

a reply to: christophoros

Never. Because it would be "racist", or a "microaggression". -rolls eyes-

a reply to: christophoros

I believe it's calling attention to a double standard that is painfully obvious to anyone with an I.Q. greater than "oatmeal"...

Racism will never go away as long as we keep talking about it

Hiya all,

MTV released the full thing on youtube:


It honestly wasn't as bad as the trailer implied. It has bits and pieces people will find problematic and possibly even offensive but it also had a wider range of opinions and interactions than it appeared to in the trailer clips. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting. I watched it out of curiosity. It was actually a pretty good show which avoided a lot of the the pitfalls shows dealing with these topics often fall into.

Considering my age group is the target demographic, it probably tested well.

Some people are lucky enough to be born a skin tone that forces them to think about it from time to time, sometimes when they least expect it. Just sayin...

It must be nice to not have to think about it. It's kinda privilege even.

I'm of mixed race.

The only time I think about my 'colour' is when I am asked about it...by white SJW (almost always 30 or younger) wanting to know how 'white privilege held me back.

They, generally, don't like my response.

Please explain the last 50 years of American history.
If brushing things under the carpet and failing to fix problems actually worked, you would not be in the mess you are right now as a country.

Since the Civil Rights movement successive American governments have repeatedly failed to even attempt to fix divisions in much of your country, instead allowing things to continue without challenging them. Institutional racism is a pandemic in America because of this.

The conversation needs to continue until changes are made.

When does the sequel "Black People" air?

Or is that racist?

Funny. i tend to get asked that question by a completely opposite demographic.

Really?

Maybe a locational thing?
