So some people of a race can be selected to pay for the crimes of their whole race?

You’re not paying for squat with the lynching memorial. Quit acting so oppressed.

Do you tell that to everyone or only people you think are White? If you don’t then that is of course racist.

But I wasn’t talking about the memorial. I was talking about preferential treatment enacted to address crimes from the past. I was pointing out how that was selecting a member of a group (race) and punishing him because of his race. Which sounds exactly like what people complain about with racial lynching.

I could be wrong, but your obsession with “anti-white racism” doesn’t point to your being anything other than white.

I dont believe anyone deserves a lynching memorail. It is a moronic idea.

Hmmm. So Blacks can’t care about anti-White racism? That is a racist statement itself.

Do you say the folks wanting lynching memorial are obsessed? Or is it only if people you perceive as White care about it that they are obsessed. Of course again that would be racist.

Cool beans. Tell you what: let’s tear this memorial down, grab a beer, and then do likewise to the Jewish Holocaust ones. Sound like a plan?

If you weren’t white, you’d have told us. You wouldn’t have been able to resist hanging it over our heads.

Remember when you were going on about how we couldn’t know whether a lynching was racist because we couldn’t read minds?

How in the world do you know this (that “a lot” of people’s reported experiences of racism are made up)?

Racial preferences. That is where a White person is made to suffer for his race. He has to pay a price for past crimes of his race.

I borrowed everyone else’s omniscience for a while. You’re right I don’t know exactly how much is. I have encountered lots of examples that I think are made up. I know lots of hate crimes turn out to be hoaxes.

How childish.
 
Why would it still be racist if the whites killed for lynchings were honored too? I thought that was your point that the memorial was racist because it didn’t take into account the white people lynched as well.
 
You stated in a post I responded to that it would be less racist but still racist.
 
Oh, well yes, if it excluded some people due to race then that would be racist. It is really simple. All victims should be included. I’m not really sure why that is objectionable in this day and age. I guess we have a long way to go to get rid of racism.
 
You still claimed memorial would be racist. I’m not certain what your point is exactly. I’m not sure why you keep trying to dismiss black experiences with racism as not being factual or their personal ancedotes are not worth considering.

I can’t help you then. I’ve been very clear with my simple point. When you exclude people due to race that is racist and wrong.

I don’t and don’t know why you’d think that.

I’m not going to. I don’t need to. I think you are trying to purposefully misunderstand my point. If the Armenian Genocide included different groups of people but only one group of people is recognized as having suffered then that is wrong.
