Black people bringing up grievances that a) the people they're bringing them up to had NOTHING to do with and b) never actually happened to that person is clearly different. Unlike slavery, I can actually voice my complaint to the actual people perpetuating the problem that directly affects me. That's fundamentally different than holding an entire race of people responsible for the actions of 8 generations prior for their current problems. Nobody in this thread is asking blacks to "get over it" and forget it, they're asking them to stop scape goating. I would get the same push back if I were to say that this movie's title is the reason I arrested for dealing drugs this morning.Your point was [supposedly] about you guys being told to shut up and get over yourselves when you complain. I posted that you guys do the same thing to Black people when we bring up grievances. What's the difference? Because modern day Blacks weren't/aren't slaves (which isn't the only grievance we have, BTW) means it's fine for you to tell us to shut up and get over it, but because your feelings are hurt by something today, means we have to listen to you complain all the time? Is that what you're saying?
I still don't see the difference. There's a grievance. People complain about said grievance. Said people are told to shut up and move on. Break it down for me.
