"Hollywood's identity crisis: Actors, writers and producers warn of 'reverse racism'

The very minimal reparations given to jews (after 11 million were killed in the holocaust) was purely to actual survivors and it was very trivial. There was 500K survivors that Isreal received $3K per person (~$30K in today's value). Other actual payments to survivors were a few hundred dollars a month that stopped once the survivor passed away.

Somehow we keep comparing reparations to survivors of the most horrific genocide in history to 3rd generation Gen Z'ers that were born into a level of privilege that Jews and non Jews born years ago would have dreamed of.

So because the U.S was so sh*tty and anti Black, the children of Slaves should suffer for America being anti Black and not doing the right thing by your fellow Americans? Abandoning them to terrorist and Jim Crow is cool? Millions of Black Americans alive right now suffer under Jim Crow.

Germany extends Holocaust compensation to include survivor spouses:

Holocaust survivors receive reparations for deportations on French trains:

"The French Holocaust reparations agreement was unique, Eizenstat said, because it included compensation for the heirs, including children and grandchildren, of both deportees and their spouses. The heirs were viewed as “standing in the shoes” of those who had died"

Of course Slavery in the U.S was ancient history, nobody today have any ties to it, well...:

racism is wrong but instead of breaking down barriers that discriminate against blacks, they are creating new barriers to prop up blacks and hold everyone else down. it baffles my mind how they want to over-represent blacks in everything when they are barely 12% of the population. the racism pendulum is going to swing back harder thanks to these liberals.

Do you read your sources???? A mere 42 people received money in the French deportation case. At this point the few holocaust survivors and spouses are in their 90s. Are you some raging Nazi Anti Semite???? How are the Klan meetings going?

How did you get that from people posting that the descendants of Jews who were harmed in the Holocoast in europe, receive reparations? That's not something I disagree with, yet you think it's cool that America harmed Black Americans, created a racial caste system and forced Black Americans in poverty? When is your next Klan meeting?

 

[tenniswhiz]

Black guys have been much better represented than black women.

If you exclude Halle Berry for being mixed race, it basically goes Woopi Goldberg....... then about 30 years of tumbleweeds until Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyongo hit the scene.

When did I ever say anything that supported the vile treatment of Black Americans during the segregation era? That was a travesty. Slavery was terrible and has existed for centuries across all races. This country has made great strides and is the most tolerant on earth. To imply 3rd and 4th generation descendants deserve reparations is appalling.

The only racism today is Black on white, not the other way around. 10% of Trump voters had voted for Obama and 95% of Black's voted for Obama. Who are the racists again that vote solely based on ones pigmentation?

See that doesn't matter when talking about America. The United States is not the most tolerant on the earth, that's U.S propaganda. To suggest that 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation descendants of American slaves, and Black Americans alive today who were forced into Jim Crow deserve to be burden of the sins of America is what is really appalling.

Obama lost the white vote both times, he won the Black vote both time as did:

-Al Gore 2000: 90% of the Black vote
-John Kerry 2004: 88% of the Black vote
-Barack Obama 2008: 95% of the Black vote
-Barack Obama Part Deux 2012: 93% of the Black vote
-Hillary Clinton 2016: 89% of the Black vote.

Pretty much all within range of each other. So as seen here, Black people have proven throughout U.S history to have the ability to vote for a white candidate, white Americans haven't proven to be able to vote in a majority for a Black Presidential Candidate.

This isn't your small social circle, you will meet reality.

13% of Trump supporters voted for Obama in 2012. Your comparisons mean nothing as the Black vote for Kerry, Clinton and Gore didn't have a Black candidate opposition.

You've simply noted that Democrats vote across party lines. The only sizable data point that illustrates tolerance is the 13% of Trump supporters that previously voted for Obama and crossed party lines for Trump.

 

[bobStash]

what i've never quite understood about this dumbass vicious cycle of racism (ie: racism -> "reverse racism" [as if there's a difference] -> more racism) is that...

isn't it not only smarter and better, but easier to just not be a bigot?

No, being a bigot is easier. It gives you a scapegoat for the ills (real and perceived) that you face. I't easier to blame someone for what's wrong that to not be bigoted. History has taught us this over and over again, across time, countries, and though wars. This is also why those driving the current mess want to erase history. With no past, there's nothing to learn from - good, bad, or indifferent.

 

[MMABrooklyn]

13% of Trump supporters voted for Obama in 2012.

So what?

Your comparisons mean nothing as the Black vote for Kerry, Clinton and Gore didn't have a Black candidate opposition.

Joe Biden beat Corey Booker and Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. You wasn't expecting that exit poll information.

That's not tolerance, that's stupidity.

I think Jordan Peele stating what he will not do in his films isn't tokenism at all. Just because you're a white male does not mean you're entitled to a lead role. This going to be a rough century for you if you don't realize that.

This guy said 90% of white Americans are not wealthy. Smh, American schools are failing.

Median white family in America have a net worth of $110,000 vs the median Black family in America net worth of $1,700. Stop asking like it's only Jeff Bezo making bank.

Save your "Western country" speech for your friends, Black Americans are just as "western" as any ol white people in America, and in this Western Hemisphere, they are more American than most.

Please show me evidence that 90% of white Americans are wealthy. Please stop with the critical race theory rhetoric.

You are also really missing my point regarding Jordan Peele. He can cast anyone he wants in his film for whatever reason, but criticising the industry for doing the same thing makes him a hypocrite. There is no coordinated effort to keep black people out of leading roles, it's just people making movies for entertainment.

It's not only black people who are in poverty and on welfare, so stop acting like there are no black people who are earning more than the average american.

And listen carefully Nostradamus, if people like you keep pushing identity politics in order discriminate against people who have done nothing wrong, then it's going be a rough decade for you, because you are pushing more and more people to the extreme right.

 

[Goonerview]

Every white liberal will have this realization when their destructive racial justice agenda actually hits them personally.

When “reparation payments” start coming out of their paychecks, maybe then, the penny might drop.

 

[Goonerview]

12-15% of leading roles aint Black people, nor are leading roles majority white women so save that majority crap. Ok, if you care about population percentile so much let's go a big off road:

90% of U.S wealth is own by whites, 2-3% is held by Black Americans. American isn't 90% white, nor is it only 2-3% Black. What are you doing to close the racial wealth gap? Do you even see it as an issue?

Isn’t the NBA is like 80% black?

What are you doing to make the NBA, the NFL more representative??

The NBA should only have 13% black players, 80% white/Hispanic players, 7% Asians.

Everything should accurately reflect the demographics of the country and this should be done by force!!

 

[Goonerview]

People only want “equality” when it suits them.

I don’t see BLM types complaining about the lack of representation of Asians in the NBA.

Honestly the lesson BLM is teaching is that if you are in a dominate group, then never give up anything and oppress everyone else as much as possible. Otherwise you'll end up being oppressed. BLM and the anti racism cult are teaching the world a very dangerous lesson
