You start with the presupposition that all races are exactly the same and of course it seems like a narrative being pushed
Bro. Give Satan more credit than Raj. Satan ushered in the fall of all mankind with one trick.
Who has Raj convinced?

Most African Americans do not have a detailed history of their ancestral roots. They cannot tell you who their great great great great great grandfather was who was enslaved.
If they have to prove through documentation then very few will be eligible for reparations
It’s impossible to believe wounds haven’t healed. Not all wounds, but certainly many. To deny this to deny we are living in a world different (and superior to) from segregated bathrooms and lynchings.[quote=“EyeDentist, post:1427, topic:228119”]
Between this assertion and your talk of ‘wounds already healed,’ I think you seriously underestimate the extant level of anger simmering in the black community.

No, I don’t, and my experience in inner cities helping black youth makes me acutely aware that there remains mistrust and anger. You’re seeing “wounds healed” as the equivalent of “all wounds have healed, there’s no work left to do”. That isn’t my positon, and that isn’t the case.
But there can be no denial that much progress has been made, and I know that progress has been hard-earned but remains fragile, and I think it is a very, very bad idea to risk its rupture.
Not true, and candidly, you’re reaching - racially-tolerant means what it says: tolerance for other races, comfort in a multi-ethnic society, precisely what we want in a colorblind society. If you like race-accepting better, use that, it’s just a clumsier phrase.
Not if they slowed down to actually move away from abstractions and understand the real-world implications.

Yeah I don’t see you complaining when it swings in your favor. You’re not complaining about the lack of Asians in the NBA last I checked

There’s a whole basketball league in China
Who cares? none of them are talented enough to make the nba
And?
The nba is 80% black.
This is a form of inequality. You have no problem with inequality when it’s favorable to blacks
The NHL is 98% White. They must integrate…NOWWWWWWWWW
Did I say that was equal?
The point is Asians as a whole are underrepresented in sports in general.
This is of no concern to you
Their bones are too dense for the ice.

As Coates would put it, you are engaging in a la carte patriotism. America as a nation committed this sin. America as a nation must atone for it.
Agreed.
The fact that those things no longer occur does not imply that all, or even most, wounds have healed.
Would be interested in @MoreMuscle’s take as to how well the wounds associated with slavery, Jim Crow, etc, have healed within the black community writ large.
We simply disagree that progress would be undone by a frank discussion of reparations. In fact, I think an argument could be made that any progress so easily undone did not constitute true progress in the first place, and thus was not worth saving.
If ‘tolerance’ could so easily be sundered, it wasn’t all that tolerant to begin with.
Funny, I suspect they’d say the same about you and your opinions on the subject.
Maybe Asians don’t care for sports
Maybe black people don’t care for school
