There once was a college freshman named George who thought he knew it all. While home for Christmas Break, George and his father got into a heated dispute after dinner one night. The argument began when the young student tried to explain to his father that, as White people, they should be held accountable for all the wrongs that they had inflicted upon non-Whites throughout history.
.
George explained: "Because of European racism and greed, we stole the Native Americans' land, we held African Americans in slavery, we persecuted the Jews, and we ruined the environment. We've been oppressive racists for thousands of years so it's only fair that we pay economic reparations for the harm we've done to the world. I'm happy to see we are ending our political and economic domination of the oppressed peoples, but we still have a long way to go."
.
George's dad was shocked to hear such talk. "Who put that commie-pinko crap into your head, son? Did one of your sandal-wearing hippy college professors teach you that?" the father asked.
.
To which the son replied: "That's the truth dad. My anthropology professor, Dr. Irving Silverstein, says so. He ought to know. Dr. Silverstein is a critically acclaimed author and a Ph.D. People of your generation just don't understand because you were raised in a White supremacist racist society. That's why I've come to admire Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King as the greatest man in American history. He stood up to the racists of your generation. Because of him, my generation of White kids is completely colorblind."
