But history is more complex than just “white people make racism.” First, black people started enslaving each other, and became slaves to whites because they were buying them from other black people. There are very few instances of Europeans going into Africa to capture slaves themselves. Second, Japanese Americans had all of their belongings and even homes taken away as recently as the 1940s, yet in modern day are on average richer than whites. Third, blacks were climbing the economic ladder…

Before Lyndon B Johnson tried to help them. It appears that while he likely had good intentions, some of his policies have actually only caused impoverished black communities to be more dependent on the Democrats policies, inadvertently holding the black community back via the very policies meant to help them.

horrific violence (think of the south) brought against black families, as well as systemic racism against poc that inherently benefits white people. it all kinda twists together when you look into history and how communities are affected today, even recently with the "war on drugs," people were given unnecessarily high sentences (in my opinion) for victimless crimes. then there's many more. so yes, holding white people accountable (in general) doesn't look like yelling at a single white (2)

individual for the crime of being white, but at least having dei "level the playing fields" financially, giving poc the tools to learn and access expensive skills that can propel them in their careers. it's obviously all much more complex than this, and this is merely a surface level observation of legislation sneakily made against poc communities over the decades, but yeah that's rly all that phrase means

do you not feel “leveling the playing field” is only separating us more? why do you want to continue the spread of hate? i completely understand white people have white privilege, 100000% and i understand wanting them to be aware of that, but punishing white people because of the things listed above it’s only going to create more divide because you’re getting angry with them for things they didn’t even have a part in can you just make a judgement on an individual stance rather than generalizing?

i see where you're coming from, and no. u only get aid if you qualify for it, financially. also, how are dei initiatives separating us? i dont see where you're coming from... if anything, id argue it brings us together, because people who otherwise would've been financially cut off from accessing higher education are now able to achieve their goals and spread their unique knowledge and backgrounds, which are essential in the workforce, id argue!

It’s mostly because white people say “my ancestors built this country” obviously discounting people who actually toiled on the land. If you claim to inherit the asset, you are also responsible for the liabilities. Slavery and genocide of 90% of indigenous population are a part of those liabilities
