Yes, 100%

But, I'm sure that highly educated high earning liberals that are suggesting reparations for black people would have no problem footing the bill in their own states and cities

Right?

Guess what? We're constantly called to this school, especially when school ends........

85 million dollars for this school.......

As for your business idea, what's the incentive for a business to open up in the ghetto?
You need to build up the community, obviously the incentive is low if its a poverty area but communities can improve with the right investments.

Strawman. Doesnt have to be an extra tax. Maybe dont send those billions to malta this year or take a little off Ukraine's next billion dollar package

Right investments??? Businesses are leaving because of massive thefts and operating at a loss, that is if they aren't burned down first.

I don't think you understand the difference between a business and a charity.

Or, OR, we could not send those billions to malta or Ukraine, AND we don't do reparations, and we can start chipping away at that national debt

And in liberal cities/states if they want a separate tax to pay back blacks, they can feel free :]

Number of black people in the US: 45 million
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...e/US/PST045222

Total Ukraine aid (which has no connection to the discussion, but whatever): $75 Billion
https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much...are-six-charts

If ALL of that unfunded spending had instead been directed to your racist reparations plan, it would be $1,666 per person. If that's all it takes, then the dumbass Covid payments already took care of things, and everyone is now thriving

You dont do reparations by giving checks to individual people idiot. Maybe read the thread instead of going with klancel caricatures of the idea, designed to make it easy to dismiss.

$75 billion could do wonders you retard if used properly. I never want to hear you republican 'cut muh taxes' again if you think $75 billion is no big deal.

Tell us something McGee... Why TF would anybody want to invest in this?



Edit: Sure seems to be some nice cars in the hood.. Wtf do you need reparations for if everybody drives BMW's and newer looking SUV's?

Whats hilarious, is that let's say he got what he wanted, let's say nice businesses were suddenly built there, which increased the property values, which then increased property taxes, which will then lead to gentrification...... Which is racist... ..

Or in his fantasy world, black people wouldn't have to pay property taxes because of "muh reperations."

And I already posted numerous examples, of grocery stores like Whole Foods being in Englewood, Chicago of all places, and they operated at a loss, and left, which of course was racist.....

You mean the government paid reparations to the people that were actually imprisoned by the government?

Yeah that works. I for one am 100% in favor of the government paying out money for people wrongfully imprisoned by the government.

Oh those people and everyone that ever knew them are dead? Oh they were private individuals doing legal actions until they were no longer legal? History is rough sometimes and it was rough for all of our ancestors.

As already pointed out in this thread, most of the world had slaves or were slaves. If no amount of time is too long, then there should be an exchange of money across all of them.

Vast majority of Americans do not know that their family even owned slaves, including blacks. Many blacks believe their ancestors were slaves, when in fact, their families were slave owners. And some families were even both. How does a family pay if they were both slave owners and slaves?

Lastly, how does the government pay at all? The government is funded by the taxpayer. Evens individuals whose ancestors were slaves, will have their tax money used to pay the slave owner. This just doesn't work, because the government is not representative of itself, nor does it produce wealth.

The best thing for a country is to move on and look forward. Constantly looking back means no progress. In every situation where a Country looked back 150 years or more, and did very badly. There is no such thing as reconciliation on the history of slavery. The only option is for us to move on

There is no logic in any of your arguments. There is no historical precedents that is in your favor. Only chaos and evil.
