at what point is the piper ever paid?
how can you ever make progress on these issues if there is a perpetual historical debt to be 'paid'?
I'm not responsible for slavery. It's totally bizarre and counterproductive to assume that I am. Anymore that is to assume I'm responsible for sexual crimes against women.
The people who did those things were responsible for them. If they are dead, well best we can do is forgive and move on and try to make things better in the future.
Also you're insane if you don't think women and minorities don't hold positions ove power in the hierarchy... and actively seek to re-enforce it. Power is not exclusive to white rich guys.
Lol, when you're done fighting the world's largest strawman we can have an act discussion. I never accut anyone of this?
You are pretending as if systemic inequalities are a thing of the past and ignoring the fact that these historic inequalities have modern consequences.
Minority does not mean non-existent........ The whole point of a hierarchy is that it only matters who controls the top of the hierarchical structure.
No, it's just almost exclusive to rich white guys...... It really makes everything fine as long as there's token representation. Got it.
