Dr. Walter Williams Offers Pardon and Amnesty for Your White Privilege and Guilt
If requirements to ‘Check Your Privilege’ are not
convincing, or if you’ve wondered how to deal with white guilt, you may be
unaware of the document Dr. Walter E. Williams produced years ago: http://www.ijreview.com/2014/05/141792-whites-dr-walter-williams-offers-pardon-amnesty-privilege-guilt/
If anyone needs this “pardon” it is democrats.
ReplyDeleteThe Democratic Party was the party of slavery. It gained power from it, profited from it, and fought to keep it.
Jim Crow was the spawn of racist Democrats who, angry they could no longer own slaves, set about creating a series of laws, both on the books and off, to deny blacks the dignity they deserved and their rights as full citizens.
It was Democrats who pioneered “separate but equal,” standing in schoolhouse doors to keep out children who only wanted to learn without having to travel miles to an inferior “black school.”
It was Democrats who, through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, instituted mortgage policies that led directly to the housing market crash and record foreclosures in black communities.
It was Democrats who, through a continual string of lies, promised to right the wrongs their policies caused, only to make them worse. Their legislative and regulatory actions created a permanence to government dependence, trapping generations in poverty and a feeling of hopelessness.
I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a democrat. And in all of the research I have done on my ancestors, I found no evidence that any of them ever owned slaves. But, I am so relieved to know that just in case there was a racist bigot somewhere in my family tree that I am unaware of, I am pardoned.
Think you Dr. Williams.
One final point that most people don’t seem to know. Some of the early American slave owners were black. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_%28colonist%29
