instead of reparations, incentivize going to school, being employed, and not smashing and dashing

It's exactly what OP is discussing. The deprevation is directly tied to Democrats. Complete reversal of policy in democratic cities is the only way to have lasting impact. I suggest if you are going to be an advocate, you should do so the most impactful way possible, economically.

Your lip service and division is not furthering any action and completely dissuades differing opinions on how to work together.

It's literally all tied to failed democratic cities.

You are failing to address an important point. The dichotomy isnt between Democrats and Republicans. It is between Democrats and everyone else. Whatever reparations were to end up being, it isnt owed by America, nor is it owed by white people, it is owed by Democrats. If you cant acknowledge this it is a non starter.

Or are you prepared to pay reparations to the rest of America for the outrageous skyhigh violent and property crime that black people have been inflicting on the nation for the last 60 years?

You honestly believe that this site invites differing opinions on how to work together? Half this site hates black America and black people, or at least pretends to online. Stop this talk you know this as a mod

If you want to argue over whether Republicans or Democrats are more at fault, be my guest. In terms of reparations, I don't advocate it .. I don't believe it will EVER happen in our lifetimes.. but if it were to take place I've made my stance known on post #4

Still not listening. Still not getting it. Still concerned with others opinion. Bro I'm literally spit on and assaulted and called horrific names for making my home better and nowhere as bitter as you.

I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for and a legitimate way to help better things. You're not having much success at the moment.

Whether you like it or not... Trump is the only one who made a marked difference with tangible plans and investments in inner cities with opportunity zones/platinum plan investing.

It really is hilarious the BS constantly spewed on this site yet somehow your take away isI'Mthe bitter one lol. I give my opinion on this site and my own insight, if you don't agree fine. Carry on. Don't really care to change the minds of random people online who spew racist talking points on a daily basis. If you believe that saying anything on this site is apparently a "legit way to help better things" I feel sad for how naive you are.

"Cold, hard cash"

"Education"

"Free housing"

"Black people should be tax-emepty"

"Don't have to pay property tax"


"Total disruption of everything"

"A new nation"

"Dismantling this entire system"

"There can be no conversation about peace, love, unity, without reparations"

"This equality thing that they're pushing just ain't enough"

"I'm trying to move away from equality as a concept because equality still brings about unequitable outcomes for Black people"

"[Reparations] literally looks like redistribution of all the excess that White people have"

"White people need to shift"

"Quite literally [White] people giving up their homes, their assets, all of their resources"



The video included reasonable to outright bitter and hateful "solutions" and I guarantee that a lot of them would still believe they were "owed" more if they were given what they wanted. Guarantee that some people wanting a new nation would also want payments from the US to the new country, some people wanting White's belongings would also want indentured servitude/payments for years or even generations to their families etc.

It won't happen because every "POC" will complain about it.

LGBTQI and Immigrants will get tangibles before we do srs so it's no use harping on the concept.

Many Asian Americans are just as racist, if not worse, yet many are happy in being the "Model Minority" for White America.

Even within the Asian diaspora I know many of you call Filipinos the Black people of Asian. None of you dealt with the remnants of chattel slavery or Jim Crow so you can hide behind the idea of being a minority yet not actually dealt with it like Blacks.

A lot of Asian Americans were able to come to the USA off the strength of African Americans and White Allies during the Civil Rights Movement where the 1965 Immigration Act was slipped in between all of that.

On that note, you know WHITE slave owners post-Civil War were given Reparations right?

We have given reparations for Japanese Americans (and their descendants) who suffered being in internment.

We have given Native Americans a raw deal in reparations but their descendants have land now.

You hear Democrats like Elizabeth Warren wanting to give LGBTQ people reparations for discrimination they experienced for them not being able to recognize their spouse as a husband/wife and not getting the benefits of a heterosexual married couple in the US.

But with Black people there's always push back on it.

Frankly I doubt it won't happen as I mentioned. There's too much resentment towards Black people in this country and for us to get financial benefits it would probably spark another Civil War.

If they chose to stay in a racist country after granted freedom during those times that’s on them imo. Also every race has had slaves. I don’t think anyone owes people for history when we didn’t live it.

Not trying to be a dick but its pretty clear you are pretty uneducated or havent really put much thought into this. There really arent any goid arguments for reparations abd there a mountain of arguments agsinst it. You cant just sweep it all away by glibly claiming

The fact you call them model minorities like it's a pejorative says everything about your mindset and that of American blacks. Asians throw a huge wrench into your victim narrative and you resent tf out of them.

Whats so wrong with being a model citizen in the greatest civilization man has ever built? Maybe if blacks took a couple notes a lot of their problems would dissappear

Yep, it's another stupid term. They generally work hard, value education, extremely low single mother rate, etc. and the people who throw around that "model minority" crap try to twist that into being/imply that it's a bad thing.

Reparations have been paid in full a few decades ago, welfare,social housing, rioting (beautiful cities destroyed and abandoned), the list is endless. There are now debts to be payed, probably over a billion by now. In all fairness who started this uproar?, it certainly wasn't the Black Americans,

Naive? The irony is so far behind you that it should be frightening to how blind to it you are.

Again. Feelings.

Again. What others think about. More feelings.

You're mindset is circular and fueled by anger. Common sense and basic understanding of human nature would be a good start and to actually BELIEVE in something instead of raging against who you've chosen as opponents. You and that "racist" probably have more in common than youd ever know as opposed to some faux idea that has gotten the community whom we both care about deeply somewhere.

I'm making change from the best mechanism available. I suggest you do the same and examine the hate in your heart. Your passion could go a long way in getting things accomplished.
