RE: Why do we not have any #black guilt" or "islamic guilt"?
Why are white people supposed to take responsibility for something that their ancestors may or may not have done, while everyone else gets a free pass?
Also, where do you see white people complaining what others did to them? Where? War and slavery has been commonplace throughout history. The thing is, that if people did not like it, they fought back and accepted that the better ones won.
No socialist says that you have to take responsibility for your ancestral history. No serious one anyway.
Look, here is the thing, the material and social conditions of today are dependent on the material and social conditions of yesterday. The present is built upon the past.
this is called,"historical materialism". So, in the United States at least, the majority of the countries history was one of immense economic advantage for those who were of European heritage.
Like, in the founding document black people were considered 1/3rd of a person. Slavery was a reality, and after slavery there was apartheid.
Meaning that white people here have the advantage of a history of supremacy. So white people today benefit from this history.
"All history is one of a class war" that's the opening line of the communist manifesto. Which white supremacy ensured that for most of history the ruling class was white.
So here is my main point. The ruling class has been white, predominantly. Socialism goal is to dismantle class society and make a world where equality is a reality.
We want a world where no one is a slave ever again. We want a world where everyone has something to eat. We want a world where it doesn't matter who your parents were, you can still get an education. We want a world where war is nothing but a memory. We want a world where no one has to live on the streets.
You're confused because you are buying into the media's leftist straw man.
And to awnser your question,"Also, where do you see white people complaining what others did to them?"
Literally you in the original post.
No. I am not complaining by pointing out historical truths - you know, the ones that the left seldom (never) talks about.
Trust me, I want an equal society as well. A society of equal opportunity, not a society of equal outcome. Yes, some people may have it more difficult than others, but the starting conditions matter far less than the effort people themselves put into improving their lives.
If you wish to eradicate war, then you are delusional. Yes, I would be happy to live in a world without warfare, but it will never happen.
