‘Reparations Happy Hour’ Invites White People to Pay for Drinks

Why? I am Portuguese. My Grand Parent were treated poorly by White Americans when they arrived in 1900.

 

You didn't feel good about it??? Then how did you feel? Did it erase all your issues with white Americans?

 

The Jim Crow laws ended 200 years ago? WHAT? lol

 

Where did I say we are all destined to become Einsteins? You keep making stuff up. Weird.

Meantime .. for the hundredth time .. we all have the POTENTIAL to be Einstein. Very few realise that potential, as few are raised in an environment which supports it.

PS .. it's not 'talent'. Physical abilities are innate, but intellectual ability is not.

 

How are they doing it, today?

 

And the average Asian person (in America) is richer than the average white person. Go figure.

 

yes, everyone does have the same access to opportunity. that was sorted decades ago. some groups have even MORE access to opportunity than most (Affirmative Action, etc).

whether they take those opportunities or not, is a different matter.

 

No one needs ALL doors opened. In fact very few have ALL doors opened. The vast majority of us have to force open one or two doors, via sheer force of will and determination.

So are you going to sit in your chair and wait for someone to unlock doors for you? And when that does happen (lets call it welfare, free education, free healthcare, free public libraries, subsidised rent, etc), what are you going to do with that incredible opportunity?

 

All you need is a public high school, a public library, and parent/s willing to sacrifice their spare time to sit with you every day and make sure you do your homework, plus the extra study needed to stay ahead of the game. All free.

 

How do I feel? I loathe them for being that stupid. Of course appeasement never erases anything but added a hangover and an Uber bill. Did the looting in Ferguson or any other place erase Blacks hatred of Whites? No big screen or any amount of reparations will ever be enough. The country has come a long way since the Jim Crow era, but the professional race baiting mouth pieces must perpetuate seeing KKK uniforms behind every corner or they'd be out of business.

But they still tell you Trump is a racist! He's done more for Blacks in his year and a half than Obama did in all 8 of his presidency.

 

Asian immigrants have proven that.

 

You do not really state what your point is hear - I assume you think that there is no systemic issues but, it is hard to tell from your post.

 

But yet you took their drink(s) without complaint and still loathe them for being that stupid. And you wonder why some of them still look down upon you.

 

People don't get searched for no reason and not just searching for drugs. Perhaps blacks are six times more likely to be behaving in a manner that will get them searched. Generally you are searched when committing another crime or behaving erratically - especially behind the wheel.

 

Because Asian countries send people over with a lot of money, to get a good education and get a good job with it. I think China alone throws out 1 million people into the world to do that.

 

No they don't. Some opportunities need a lot of money to enter. Capitalistic life aint free in the US.

 

That's up to the people. So far in capitalistic America, doors open for people with money. And the black community got pushed into poverty by the white population.

 

Yes black people were treated horribly three generations ago but the alternate would have been in Africa. Many groups come to America with no money and are middle class within a generation, rewarding people because of the color of their skin is not just or equality.

 

I am not an African American, so I do not have an opinion about Reparations.

In 1918, my great-grandparents along with most Jews and Russian peasants got reparations from former nobles. Most workers got a room per family in apartments which formerly belonged to nobles.

 

Yep, you're a conservative on this issue then.

 

You wrote "we focusing bad deeds that happened 200 years ago"
The Jim Crow laws did not end 200 years ago.

 

Or just being racially profiled.

 

Wrong. Go back a ways .. to the Chinese who migrated to America during the gold rush. They were NOT rich, they were in fact, poor. Move ahead to the 1970s and consider all those Indo-Chinese refugees. The Vietnamese and Cambodians, etc. They arrived with literally nothing, into a 'racist' west, and STILL managed to make good within a generation. Their kids became doctors and lawyers. How? Public school, and parents willing to sit with them for hours a day while they worked to catch up with (and surpass) their peers.

Then consider the huge numbers of Chinese and Indian migrants arriving in the west at the end of last century. Few were millionaires ... most were in fact, middle class at best. It's only very recently that we're seeing an influx of super wealthy Asians.

 

You are incorrect .. 100%. America has public high schools, public libraries, and college scholarships. None of these require a dime.

 

A black American in 2018 has exactly the same opportunity (public high schools, etc) to do as well as the average Chinese American, or Vietnamese American. If they (black people) choose not to take those opportunities, and do the hard work involved in success, that's on them. Nothing to do with white folk, and nothing to do with poverty.
