Yesterday I read a blog entry from a young man in Ohio, who I assume goes by the name rob. According to his Myspace page he is 19 and a conservative. lol Anyway the reason I bring this up is because the young man had an entry entitled "Blacks really need to quit bitching and get a job" and I felt compelled to respond. I would have sent him a response but I really do not want to sign up for a myspace account. So I will put it here.
First being that I support most people who can make an intelligent argument, I had to say I read his blog entry with great expectations. What I found was an adolescent mind with no depth. Let me say this really quick I know there are hundreds of entries that have recently popped up concerning this topic because of the news of renewed discussions. And by no means is his the most ridiculous one it is just that his had a catchy title. So to Rob I say this learn exactly what it is that you are irate about and then open a history book. In your blog you say that the Jews where taken and slaughtered by Hitler, this is true. but also know that Hitler massacred Gays and Blacks as well before he ever started cleansing the Jews. Next also understand that the Jews did receive reparations, but I do understand that todays education system is lacking so you may have not learned this fact but, the Jews where given the land that belonged to the Palestinians that is why we have the issues in the middle east today between Israel and the Muslim countries. I would also like to admit my own ignorance and say that I do not know what happened between the Germans and the czech's but I will do some research and then address that issue as well. The main thing about reparations that you must understand is that it is not about monetary value, it is about atonement and basically admitting that what was done was wrong and apologizing for it. Once an official apology has been made all of the talks will go away. So please do not blame the liberals for this because this goes much further than a mindset and besides if I remember history correctly the freed slaves where promised 40 acres and a mule of which they never received. Have a nice day.
