“everything’s gonna be all white” docuseries

I see it as unproductive because it appears to undermine its own point— that it’s wrong to discriminate against a group on basis of identity and immutable characteristics, all while casting white people in a negative light.

Well I wasn't responsible for any of history's misfortune.

I am not entitled to any of the benefits of my ancestors, nor am I forced to inherit their problems.

Casting (white) people in a negative light for awful actions isn't discriminating a group on the basis of identity or immutable characteristics. 

Ah, yes it is. See: “guilt by association”… or guilt by group identity, in other words

If you feel guilty being told white people have been responsible for a multitude of evils from which they still benefit and from which POC still struggle, all I can say is the truth hurts. We need to own up to transgressions (past and present) as well as our  stolen inheritance, and start being part of the solution for a change.

Casting (black) people in a negative light for awful actions isn't discriminating a group on the basis of identity or immutable characteristics. 

In some cases, yes. But that doesn't tell me what I am entitled to as a person. Same thing with any other people.

The fact also is that for the last half century they have been committing wildly disproportionate amounts of crime, to the point that in 90% of black-white crimes white people are the victims despite whites outnumbering blacks 5 to 1.

In addition, the welfare state that has existed since the 1960s has disproportionately benefited black people and has disproportionately been paid for by white people

I don’t think anyone owes anyone else anything other than the people who have actually committed crimes or benefited from someone else’s labor

If you’re going to say that I, because of the color of my skin, am indebted to some other group because of the color of THEIR skin…I’m going to push back. 

When we consider factors such as POC being many times more likely to be pulled over, POC being many times more likely to be charged with drug offenses (when blacks and white use and sell illegal drugs at similar rates), POC being more likely to be excused from juries, white defendants being more likely to be offered plea bargains, etc., that statistic unravels and corroborates the existence of an unfair system.

Given the obstacles systemic racism provides, it would be no surprise (and not unreasonable) if there was a greater need for help in black communities. However, as it stands now, blacks are the not the prime welfare beneficiaries. For instance, ~37 % of SNAP participants are white as compared to ~26 % black. Whites burden the system moreso than blacks.

If you go back and look at the post you responded to, you'll see listed quite a few ways society has benefitted from the labor, resources, and stolen potential of the black community.

The argument that the white crime rate is just as high and whites just get off is patently absurd.

But if you’re going to say that we as a race “owe” them something,

Exactly what portion of my net worth was “stolen” from black people?

You've missed the point. I am not advocating for monetary reparations.

It is likely you are the recipient of the benefits due to your ancestors. It is also likely some of those benefits came from systemic repression of other groups. 

Casting (black) people in a negative light for awful actions isn't discriminating a group on the basis of identity or immutable characteristics.

Yep, because the problem would be actions not skin color.

Yep, because the problem would be actions not skin color.

The problem is that you are essentially ascribing “awful actions” specifically and uniquely to a particular identity group. Black people, in the above case.
