(34,648 posts)When? Name a time that white, straight men have not gotten more.
Then tell me the plan to ensure we all get our fair share. Women still make less. Blacks even less. Hispanics. Pacific Islanders. What is this maginificent plan to ensure all of our children are educated from pre k to 12 equally? Policed equally? Treated equally? Because we will not get our fair damn share unless this happens. If we do not change the inequalities between the sexes and races, you as a white man will get more than me as a black women. Is that fair? Should I trust that this time will be different because a caucasian gentleman assures me it is so? How often have those promises from those gentlemen co e to fruition? Never. They never have.
You say improve, but your people are already way above mine. On e we get to your level then I might believe the promises. Until then this feels like a treaty signed between the white man and native americans. False promises and honeyed dreams.
