Just because you aren’t responsible for what your race did in the past Doesn’t mean that what your race did in the past doesn’t IMMENSELY affect the present

Confessions 16h

Not everyone is responsible for what their race did in the past. Come on people, we need to move on.

Yeah it means it affected the present, but acknowledging that doesn't mean pointing fingers. We gotta work together to fix the disparities

Except NONE of you want to acknowledge it These are historical and cultural wounds that still affect modern culture Let us grieve

OP 16h

I was agreeing with you that the historical impact is real. The goal is to find a constructive way forward 🤦‍♀️

Thats not how you acknowledge historical wounds and atrocities You immediately made it about yourself 💀 I would love to find a way to move forward but honestly it seems like u just wanna brush the history off

OP 16h

Nothing I said was about me. I explicitly validated that historical impacts and wounds are real. Wanting to address those wounds through action isn't brushing history off, it's treating it as something that needs fixing, not just talking about

By action I hope you mean not just “stop pointing finger and white people and everything will work out” 😒

OP 16h

I mean actual systemic solutions and policy reform, but at this point you’re arguing against things I never said, so I’m going to leave you to it
