"Number 1: Slavery was legal less then 150 years ago. That is about 2 lifetimes. That is not that long. My grandma's grandam was a slave (a literal piece of cattle) That shit doesn't go away that easy and just because you do not experience or understand it does not make it paranoia. It is just an experience you do not understand and can only understand by listening humbly and learning.
Number 2: Built into the laws of the united states have been measure that specifically target Americans of African descent (particularly the descendants of slaves) up into today.
Number 3: It is not "black" people's responsibility to "get over" slavery. This was an atrocity (like the holocaust, the slaughtering of native americans, the armenia genocide and apartheid) that was done to them by those with power. Like it or not, the legacy of racism is a problem of "white" amerca, no amount of ignoring history will change that.
Number 4: Racism and it's results is not a race issue...it is a human rights issue. The intimidation and generational effects are based in racial stereotypes, but at least on paper, these are the problems of american citizens and should be treated as such. Making empathy for citizens contingent on arbitrary physical characteristics is the first step to justified genocide.

Real nigger or epic troll? What do you think?
