I agree only if your statement is rephrased, "help those that need help, First!" That would be Blacks before whites, a fact I'm not necessarily proud of, though it would seem so.

I know you and I share the value to "make ammends" with those that have been done wrong. Where I think we disagree is that I look at it from an individual perspective; therefore, a white guy apologizing to me and giving me some money because his ancestor enslaved my ancestor does not make sense to me.

Exactly! So rather than the individual approach, look at it from a multitude approach. Now does it make sense. Its not about him apologizing to you/me, its them apologizing to us and the gov't is the only "them" that matters. And stop talking about money like that is the only thing of value in this debate. Why is that the first thing that comes to mind? Money has very little to do with anything. Health care, education, social programs, etc are much more relevant than money, though a little change wouldn't hurt! Look at it this way, I owe you $30,000 from a much needed loan. I'm around you everyday and I act like nothing ever happened. I never once mention your money and this went on for years, would you eventually say something, or continue to wait for me to address the issue? Or would you just say to yourself," I guess Tucker aint gon pay me back so I'm just going to forgive and forget in the interest of friendship cause I like him and hes a good friend." I think you know what I'm saying here, right?

Surely you don't think Black folks are the only ones that can get cancer or brain tumors, requiring very expensive treatment?

Sure, and the engine could fall off a plane and kill a flea on a chihuahua's ass and not hurt the dog. Then again lightning could strike someone. Either could happen, but how likely would it be? Them other folks aint got nothing to do with this discussion in no way, shape, form or fashion. And you had the nerve to compare me to USURPER! negro please! LMAO

For example, what? (Sometimes I need things pointed out for me...)

Its better when you find it out for yourself. Though you SHOULD know by now, damn!

you're including in there the good white folks that agree with our values and are basically on "our team" for shaping this country the way we want it to be shaped.

I aint seen none of them "gooduns" as you put it. None of them would give a damn if it wasn't something in it for them. Maybe their helping "our team" cause at least we understand and speak the language fairly well! lmao
