  • First of all, anything that starts “according to legend” is typically not presented as fact.

    More importantly though, your family arrived here white, after systems influenced by white supremacy had established a privileged system in their favor. He arrived with absolutely nothing, and in one generation he was able to afford to buy land and move his family here after him. Do you know why he was able to do that? I’ll give you a hint, people of color couldn’t. What your family were allowed to do as immigrants, was possible because people who came from families of slaves were not allowed to.

    I told you the first time, my family was poor white trash too, amd we benefited from it. So did yours.

    Kind of telling that you didn’t want to respond to anything else I said, just try to prove that you’re family had it worse.


  • It effects tons of people, yourself included, in ways you have apparently never stopped to consider. I don’t say this to be shitty, but I’ll be direct about it.

    Your ancestors came here, as a privileged class, and built generation wealth in their family because others were denied it. Go ahead and accept that. It doesn’t make you a shitty person, mine did too, mine never amounted to anything but poor, white trash, but even they had benefits from becoming established in this country, at that time. So did yours.

    The government hugely benefited from it and should be held responsible for that. Taxes come from us, the circle continues.

    If you’re going to take issue with it, and not be a shitty person, realistically we can’t pay enough to replace what was denied them. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t find some nominal amount, but your right, we should also look for ways to try and fix what we can’t be replaced.

    It seems like they brought it back to drive up traffic. They know people will put those things on it, but they can edit all they want and going over there to “protest participate” still drive traffic to their site. In 6 months when they tell investors how successful the last place event wad, no one is going to want to see the final picture, they’re just going to look at the numbers.

    Place was stupid when we were on reddit, its sure as he’ll not worth going back for


  • I was a mod on reddit for a few years. There was a very small sub for a cartoon/toy line I liked as a kid and the community was shuddered because there was no active mod. I didn’t think it would get much traffic and I was right. Once I got it back opened we’d have maybe 6-10 posts a years, mostly toy collections. It was super low effort to me, I had one t-shirt spam I had to remove and a few comments, so it was worth it to have it open again. It’ll close when I finally get around to deleting my account
