Anonymous asked: For the white people who can't understand why people are mad at whites even though the people living didn't enslave us, think of it this way: if your great grandpa robbed a bank, I'm not mad at you. But if you're living off of the money he stole and expecting me to get to your level, then I'm frustrated/ angry. Get it?

OOOOOOOOOOOOO CHILD!!!!!! THE TEAAAAA
THIS IS THE THING
You have these white dweebs that are living off of stolen fucking money that have the AUDACITY to say, ‘Well, maybe if you worked HARDER, you would have what i have.’ That’s the rub. That’s the fucking rub.
There are literally families that are part of the 1% purely because of the fact that they owned slaves while the descendants of those slaves struggle to survive because of the way society systematically works against them still years later.
And not even money…living off of land they got FOR FREE through genocide and the Homestead Act which was implemented during the time Blacks weren’t even allowed to OWN anything—property included.
So your grandpappy’s farm is stolen, just like everything else your family’s legacy is built on.And then factor in that it didn’t stop with slavery, but black code laws that would imprison black folks if they got to “uppity” with other white folks….yes that was a law, look it up. Which created the bases for our prison industrial complex, factor in share cropping, factor in the restricting of resources to black folks for generations, from housing, to medical care, employment, to education…all of these necessary institutions needed for upward mobility, with added persecution from our own government, giving us basic minimum rights was like pulling teeth. Now think about how recent laws that gave us those basic rights were put in place, and then think about how long it took for the white folks in authority to actually practice those laws fair and just, and basically started letting niggas actually exist without lynching them every fucking 5 seconds.
Now finally think about all the issues that could stem from an entire race of people being socially, and systematically being denied basic necessities that a human being needs to function.And how much of a complex and complicated mess of problems that were created that ranges across psychological, sociological, individual, emotional, cultural, from micro-and macroaggressions, that fits within a larger narrative that is mainstream white america.
Do you really think all of that could be fixed, or these wrongs could easily be righted in 20 or 40 years? That a single generation which is like your parents, and or grandparents age, that all of that could just be fixed when the world has been fucked up longer than it has been sane.
