They do it because they are unable to intelligently debate and are wrong on their stances so this is their way of trying to "own JAYDAWG!!!"

Donald Trump’s Platinum Plan was probably the closest thing to reparations ever seriously proposed by a presidential candidate and also was the absolute best plan for uplifting the black community, as it provided for extensive business investment, focused on giving communities dignity rather than handing out random cash payments to individuals. I wish I could’ve seen it implemented.

Unfortunately voters rejected Trump because “orange man bad” and now we’ll watch Biden take no serious action.

No. Democrats are the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and racism. Stop trying to say "America" did these things. Say who actually did them - Democrats.

If only the platinum plan hadn't come out a couple months before his re-election campaign and he had pushed for something during his first term. People love to point out to Dems using blacks for votes, while Reps do the same chit.

Reps and Dems flipped their stances decades ago. Learn history. Additionally Reagan and Nixons started the attack of the black community post Civil Rights with the racist drug war. That's a fact

If you are poor in America it’s your own fault

Not to parrot Little Benny, but studies show all
You have to do to be successful in America is

Graduate High school
Get a job
Don’t have kids early

These issues plague the black communities the most, but it’s not an oppression issue.

There is zero reason for first generation immigrants from third world countries to be more successful than American Blacks.

Want to find the problem? All you need is a mirror. That’s who controls your destiny, nobody is holding anybody back in 2021.

In fact, the opposite is overwhelmingly true, but all that extra help creates dependence, not strength.

No they didnt. The party switch is an absolute myth that has been debunked a billion times. It doesnt even make sense on the face of it. Democrats are still the party of racism and slavery to this day. The Democrat Plantation is alive and well...growing votes instead of cotton.

I always wonder if other countries cling to dead people's baggage like America. Like are kids in Germany shamed for Nazis despite not even being born yet? Are modern descendants of Aztecs and Mayans shamed for ritualistic human sacrifice?

It's racial gaslighting. And I've noticed a lot of people who cling to racial gaslighting the past few years are usually trying to justify their own bigotry. If you're bitching about the Native American Genocide and not the Rhowandan Genocide, you're retarded and have been gaslit into holding people accountable for history that occurred before they were even born.

People want an excuse to be holier than thou. Evangelical politics, especially those based on race, are comprised of sh!tty people, so radicalized it borders mental illness.

State constitutional amendment.

Zero tax for large manufactures in targeted zipcodes.

Employment in zipcodes must hit a sliding scale of demographic participation.

No pension plan or unionization allowed, only 401k match.

Every job meets area average median income at hiring.

This is factually inaccurate and there is no metric to stand on. All you are saying is that white voters vote for both parties, as they still do.

Its almost a guarantee they did not.


Irrelevant. My Grandmother is Apache. Should I have to pay reparations? If so why?

I wasnt born during the civil rights era. Im not liable for what the racist Democrats did during those times.

Also if we are discussing reparations should we subtrack the damage done by BLM riots and terrorism?

That was the first time Republicans had anything to offer blacks since they signed the civil rights act (and then promptly changed their minds and ran Goldwater for pres).

Bro you really think I'm in my mid twenties upset about you taking away virtual pixels from me? I'm just speaking the truth. You're probably frauding about the descendant of slavery thing, you look like a Mexican/MAYBE youre telling the truth about being a native pocahontas 0.05 percent like Elizabeth Warren. The only thing that pisses me off is your bitch ass constantly complaining and trying to benefit off reparations because you're a lazy dumb mother****er. You'll never get our tax dollars you pathetic piece of ****. Imagine being a man and wanting a ****ing handout.

I'm well versed. You're angry at America and stop reading midsentence or lies to form your halfassed argument.

Your claim. Your burden.

I'd be glad to tell you and prove that the Democrats have not only enslaved and murdered, but I can also crayon draw for you that under represented, impoverished, crime ridden, poor, and unemployed majority black city centers are run and have been run by Democrats for more than half century.

That should be the only real proof you need as opposed to whatever angry fantasy you masturbate to.

Don't really care to argue with someone over "REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!!!!" if you feel the need to, move this argument to R&P. This is about what the OP is discussing
