Obama says 'white resistance and resentment' stopped him from pushing for reparations

[Ken-1122]

According to the census of June 1933, the Jewish population of Germany consisted of about 500,000 people.
Eighty percent of the Jews in Germany (about 400,000 people) held German citizenship. The remainder were mostly Jews of Polish citizenship, many of whom were born in Germany and who had permanent resident status in Germany.

I didn't say legal citizens I said their own people. Big difference.

Right...which is also why it's bizarre to look at "white people" as a single organized cohesive racial group.

I never suggested that.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I never suggested that.

Ok...my point was more for anyone advocating some racial reparations system.

My original comment:

Tell that to the Jewish German survivors of the camps and their descendants.....unless you believe that the Jews born in Germany were not, in fact, German Citizens?

I was commenting on the fact that Jews who were German Citizens were put in concentration camps not whether Nazis considered them citizens or not.

Whites are born innately racist, whereas others are open minded, according to reports:

By five, Black and Latinx children in research settings show no preference toward their own groups compared to Whites; White children at this age remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness​

Sounds like they've got a bunch of racist running the Arizona Education Department. What a shame!

None of the quotes suggest that whites are "born innately racist." In fact, it says just the opposite:

It cites a study that shows at birth, “babies look equally at faces of all races. At 3 months, babies look more at faces that match the race of their caregivers.”

The whole thing is about the environment to which the kids are exposed and what they learn from it.

But hey, why concern yourself with reading comprehension when there's so much offense to be found?

Nobody else is concerned with such details

If you insist on putting a fine point to it, the implication is that black & Latino parents are non-racist and raise their children pure & devoid of racism, whereas white parents are strongly racist and inculcate their children with their racism as early as 3 months

Bottom line remains, "whites are racist, non-whites are not" -- which, then, "justifies" opposing "white privilege" at every turn

That's not what the study says, did you read the study and their conclusion? It makes no such pronouncements.

From 'Concluding Remarks':
The developmentalrecord suggests a solution based on a simple but highlyflexible sensitivity to contrastive ingroup–outgroup distinc-tions as well as a basic sensitivity to the status of thosegroups within the broader social hierarchy.

This sounds suspiciously like a 'solution looking for a problem'. Most infants and very young children don't respond positively to faces/people they don't know or remember. After my daughter was born 6 months later I went overseas. When I saw her 4 months later she wanted nothing to do with me because she did not know/remember me. That's is actually a typical response of an infant/young child and a good thing. Parents want children to not instinctively trust those they do not recognize.

It's totally unjust to make the grand children pay for the sins of the grandparents.

Unless it's Adam, of course.

Uhhhhh, we don't pay for Adam's sin.....dunno what you are talking about.

Implied is just as powerful as explicitly spelled out

We're all children of genetic Adam

What sentences are they implied in?

basically all of them? whole point of the article? Continue the demonization to "justify" the cancellation?

You're making a claim about an article, yet have provided no evidence of anything. It seems you did not read the article, your answers have that didn't read the assignment vibe.

 

[Larniavc]

Uhhhhh, we don't pay for Adam's sin.....dunno what you are talking about.

Then why do you need salvation?

 

[Larniavc]

We're all children of genetic Adam

What does that have to do with my point?

We have already been saved.....you ever go to Sunday School as a kid?
