Anthony Joshuas racist comments

[TitoFan]

I'm all for looking toward the future and not dwell on the past.

Which is why I came out immediately and forcefully in the forum AGAINST reparations for slavery as a bad idea.

But facts are facts.

You can't just close your eyes and wave away a couple of centuries of racial discrimination which has kept the black race down..... while blaming black social issues on bad fathers and single mothers. It doesn't work that way.

Black families were stronger 50 years ago. The decay has been since the welfare state which has eroded personal responsibility. The problems today are the result of poor decisions by spoiled people who know freebies are there without needing responsibility. That automatically creates poverty? How do I know? I have been there too. Many whites have the same issues which have compounded over the same period.

Rather than teach hatred of others for one's own failings one needs to accept that things have gone wrong and to be better people. Is the UK historically like the US? No, so why are there the same issues with broken families and thug culture? Welfare state and broken down family structures among other factors.

Self responsibility will go a long way. Maybe give youths some Peterson and start a journey of personal growth rather than develop a permanent chip on the shoulder about ancestors one never knew and a society that is better than most?

The law offers equality, so use it and give life a go. Don't copy the parents if bad, copy if good and go from there. This mindset of chaos and 'Ooh racist' will lead to nowhere good. You know better than that too.
