I understand where Vin is coming from - why should he pay for crimes committed long ago when he wasn't even born yet? Furthermore blacks could very well take an advantage of it and use the "race" card whenever it fits them
In fact, in my research Vinni which I did not post, I also made a point where if blacks were fighting for equal rights and status, there shouldn't be welfare or quotas for blacks because everyone should have equal opportunity irrespective of their race - if people shouldn't favour whites they shouldn't favour blacks either, and that's equality.
however, I was referring to Pat's comments; I hated how he painted this picture of whites in america being the blacks' saviour when clearly they were not historically, as the stats have shown, that's all.
And you may not like it Vin, alright you would know more since you live there and I don't, but everyone's entitled to an opinion from what they read or whatnots - the blacks are still at a comparative disadvantage to the average white american .. it's unfair for you to pay for your ancestors' crimes, but it's also unfair for them to be put in this situation to begin with.
