Well, Hello There.: I'm just gunna have a little rant about racism okay. →
I understand that a lot of people of all different kinds of ethnic origins are angry at the way white people treated their ancestors / are still treating them.
As a white person, I will never be able to fully understand how awful it must be to be subjected to racism.
However, that does not give…
“I am not to be held accountable for the horrendous things my ancestors did to yours.”
Hon, let me tell you something about why you’re wrong. If I — and my people/POC (people of color — am still subject to racism, you are still in a position to benefit from racism. Your argument can be summed up as such:
Question: Why should I have to pay for the sins for my forefathers?
Answer: Because I (POC) am still paying for the sins of your forefathers.
