An Interesting Take on BLM

[kandrathe]

A position which I still hold. That doesn't make me racist, just that I (correctly) acknowledge we have a system that favors whites over blacks and other minorities in nearly every sphere. When black people punch upward towards white supremacy and oppression, THAT IS NOT RACISM. You may have individual situations where blacks could be predjudice towards whites, but it doesn't mean anything since whites enjoy economic and social advantages and privileges everywhere, and have so throughout this country's history.

I would maintain that prejudice is an injustice to whoever it victimizes. The proper cure to injustice is the reasoned application of justice, reconciliation and reparations. When Nelson Mandela was freed from prison and elevated to president of South Africa, he could have motivated his nation to burn itself to the ground. But... what did he do in response to their legacy of racism and colonialism?
