"People don't have a problem with oppression. They have a problem with being oppressed." - Jessie Jackson.
Jessie Jackson is one of those self-serving polemics whose sole reason of importance is the dis-unity of the races. The above quote is the only thing that he has ever said that made any sense.
If Blacks are going to hate whites, Asians and Hispanics/Latinos...
If whites are going to hate Blacks, Asians and Hispanics/Latinos...
If Asians are going to hate whites, blacks and Hispanic?Latinos...
If Hispanics/Latinos are going to hate whites, Blacks and Asians...
What does it matter who is the most dominant or most subjugated group/ethnicity/race/nationally ?
Maybe God said; "F*** it. They're going to fight each other anyway. I'll just flip a coin to determine who comes out on top."
I don't think that we are all the same. I think that we are all different. I think that we each (all) have a unique mix of gifts/talents/skills/traits that can be used to further all of our best interests in different situations. The assumption of equality is an idealistic point of view. The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons. We respect different people at different levels and for different reasons. We may not respect people as being equal but we can treat people with equal respect. I don't think that there is such a thing as "reverse-racism". Racism is racism. The best definition I've read on "reverse-racism" is one of self-hate because of one's race. This point of view makes sense. The other definition assumes that - White=Racism - by default.
To assume that one race is in it's current position because of it being God's will is just as ridiculous as God flipping that coin.
