-- Posted by I never forget at 2:16 am on Jan. 3, 2009 As what one would consider to be a black person. I am slightly confused about all this talk from white people about black people taking things from them or whatever because of slavery....they talk about this happening like it's a part of their life and it happens on a daily basis. I can't really remember any time that I have seen in person a black guy imposing "white guilt" on a white person. I personally have once in a while just walked up to a white kid and took like a piece of pizza, and yelled "REPARATIONS!" then walked away. It was really just as a joke, but hey I got pizza out of it. Other than that though...I want to hear stories from you white people about this "problem" of we blacks guilting you into giving us stuff. -- Posted by studmuffn at 2:16 am on Jan. 3, 2009 black people are fake -- Posted by blufindr at 2:17 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I personally don't see the point of reparations. What's done is done. No amount of "sorry" or money can fix it. -- Posted by I never forget at 2:18 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from blufindr at 2:17 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I personally don't see the point of reparations.

I'm black, and all, but the people I'm around typically ignore my race, 'less they're making an offhand racial comment. -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:19 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from studmuffn at 2:16 am on Jan. 3, 2009 black people are fake Yeah and ur sooo not a gay guy faking straight. -- Posted by the real anti christ at 2:20 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from blufindr at 4:17 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I personally don't see the point of reparations.

Still doesn't care. I WAS being sarcastic, you know. -- Posted by Bud2400 at 9:42 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 The only time I've personally heard blacks calling for reparations or using white guilt (whether jokingly or seriously, it doesn't matter - both amounted to the same end) is when they basically pressure a white person for something like money, food, or whatever. In most cases, it's not as malicious as it sounds, but it certainly occurs on some level. You also hear reparations (occasionally) and white guilt, and things related to it, come up in affirmative action debates all the time. White privilege is almost always used as the justification for affirmative action, and if you're a white person who happens to disagree with white privilege in general, you usually get white guilt thrusted upon you (in that simply because non-whites were discriminated against in the past, you should feel bad about it by virtue of being white and allow them to have advantages over you).
