Why do white people get mad at paying taxes for people who DON'T work?

Question

We get mad well you (whites) get mad about people who don't want to work, you have to support with your work. But if you recall Blacks work free over 200 years for our and our fathers benefit. But whites simply do not care, you can justify you fathers laziness. But how mad would you be if blacks were to take every red penny you have or even will make ,to support themselfs.

It is believe that my family was slave owners and i'm not from Africa

Answer 1

Very, but it can't happen because we whites abolished slavery. No black alive in America today ever was a slave, and no white alive in America today ever owned one. I don't see how the blacks alive today have any standing at all regarding slavery 140 years ago.

And take a look at Africa, and consider our immigration picture. Do you think blacks in America today would rather their family had stayed in Africa, where slavery continued much longer than here? Granted what happened to their ancestors was terrible, for those alive today, are they worse off than if their families had remained?

Answer 2

I have never met, nor do I know anyone who has ever met a slave or slave owner. During the time of slavery in this country, African tribes would take other tribe members as slaves. Many times this would happen by their own tribe as a means of repaying a debt to the other tribe. Our slave trade was started by wealthy British merchants acting under a charter from the King who desired a greater output of goods to be marketed. You do not have to be African American to be poor, and you do not have to be white to be rich. We have enough enemies in the world right now as an American citizen we should make an effort to not be divisive among ourselves. There is more impoverishment in predominantly African American communities but this is changing as time goes on and opportunities and education are made available. It has been only 150 years since the slave era which is a blink in the timeline of the world. There are more African American government workers, political officers, and business owners than ever before and it is increasing. Those who take public funds where there is no need is stealing and there is no other definition. I believe there is a need for public assistance regardless of race, it is in our nature and I do not think I would want to be a part of a society that cast out those among them in need. These are the simple facts and are not termed in anyway to race. when tempers are removed and logic prevails this will no longer be an issue.

Answer 3

First stop living in the past!

Second Stop blaming all of your problems on the white man

Third stop thinking just because you are black you have your life owed to you by every white person

Fourth blacks were not the first and only slaves! The American Indians were the first and they are still being treated like slaves!

Fifth if you would start living your life like a normal person and work for a living you would start to believe like the rest of us that paying for someone else to live because they are to lazy to work is for the birds.

I'm not saying all people on welfare are lazy some actually can't work however you sound like you are of sound mind and body to work so get off your *** and start working

Answer 4

Our taxes go up because of other people that don't work. Your right I don't like paying taxes so other people, Black Or White Or Brown can sit on there *** all day watching the Day's of Our Lives, eating Frito's while I'm out busting mine. There is no racism here with me. All colors are free loaders. I have a very blue collar(that means I work harder than someone with a degree, and usually get paid less for doing it.), work with concrete and don't give a crap what my fore fathers did 200 years ago. All that is is a poor attempt at an excuse for you or others that are to lazy *** to go find a job.

QUIT YOUR WHINING, go to work. You might even enjoy it if you try it.

Answer 5

DAR you need not to speak of something you know nothing about my grandmother who just passed 6 months ago could tell us the name of her owners can still visit his family today in new Orleans just because law said it was over does not mean it did not still happen my husband grandmother is still alive she is 98 she is in very good health and could also tell you somethings that would blow your mind, how dare you try to be a pompous *** on a subject that had no direct affect to you!!!!!!!!!

to the question white people are a selfish race you can not help you were born that way in the meantime it is not just that race that has to pay for non-working American citizens it is everyone black white illegals, immigrants, any citizen of the USA who pays taxes has to help that is the American way people should stop looking at it as if they are taking handouts see as a way to help to help a fellow man we don't give as much as we should anyway everybody is out for self until the shoe is on the other foot!

Answer 6

Like in your other question, what happened in the past happened in the past. It is dumb to suggest an ancestor of a slaveowner paying an ancestor of a slave since neither of those people were involved in the practice of slavery ever. Second of all, people have opportunities to work now. If you don't work, you don't get money. Its as simple as that. And last, tazes go to more than unemployed people.

And for your additional detail, do not feel bad for your family being slaveowners!!! You act as if that makes you one, even though you have been arguing against it this whole time. It makes no sense. People can't be judged by their immediate family let alone their late ancestors.

Answer 7

The people in work and paying taxes should think themselves lucky they are in work. I pay taxes and yes there are many layabouts and yet there are others out of work how would wish to be working. Some governments have made it too easy for the people who do not want work. They say it costs the states millions every year in fraud, so why don't employ a larger body of fraud investigators to catch these benefit fraudsters and perhaps our taxes MIGHT come down.Forget the past and lets get on with the future

Answer 8

Are you living in the USA?? What are you talking about white and black people? If you live in the USA, we AMERICANS are mad about people who abuse the social security benefits. We don't like to help people who don't work and not give into it. You as AMERICANS, if you are white, black, yellow, orange or red should be upset about anyone getting something from the tax paying people without lifting a finger. This is not a white or black issue, it's an American thing.

Answer 9

Either you are a black person pretending to be a white person to see how many people will weakly try to reason with you, or you are a white person with some serious misplaced guilt and hatred of yourself, your ancestry and other white people.
All of your questions revolve around reparations for blacks. The last time I heard an argument for reparations for blacks it was about Juneteenth. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. Juneteenth...June 19th when if we didn't hand over a bunch of checks and a public apology for slavery black people were going to burn down white people's houses and stuff like that.
Every one has ancestors who suffered, who were conquered, who were enslaved, who were unequal, who were needy. Many of us live that way now. You can't justify reparations for only one group of people and not for everyone else. Blacks do not have the monopoly on misery and neither do Jews (also referenced in your slavery reparations site in previous posts). You can't just say that since they are the loudest sufferers that they can brow beat us into making reparations for something NONE OF US are guilty for. No matter what lame way you try to weasal it into the conversation, WE ARE NOT GUILTY and no we shouldn't have to pay for un-American people who don't want to integrate.

Answer 10

My family were not from slave states nor even in the US when slavery was around. Plus africans were sold to europeans by other blacks, maybe you should demand compensation from Benin, Togo and Nigeria? Also less then 1% of Americans owned slaves and some slave owners were black. Read a history book before you ask stupid questions you racist,
