No because how do reparation payments fix the problem of police brutality towards black people?

You mean the Anglo-Saxon and Jewishelites sitting at the top and devouring everything?

Because thecommon white man sure as fook didn't benefit one fukkin cent from slavery. In fact there were as many indentured white servants as there were black slaves in 19th century America. And it's the common white man that fought and died and or was maimed in the Civil War by the hundreds of thousands.

Add to that the fact thatmanywhite Americans came to America long after slavery was abolished and they also suffered discrimination. Italians, Irish, Polish, German, Russian, etc.

yeah I don't feel like giving a lesson in statistics but you said 40% of SNAP recipients are white like it's a good thing meanwhile 73% of the country is white which means proportionally to the size of the population more non white people are on it.

How many whites got a job that a black or minority was better suited for solely because they were white? How about voting for everyday blacks/minorities that were suppressed and their voices were not being heard at the federal and local level. Or the African Americans that fought for this country in WW2 to stop evil, then in turn came back home to being second class citizens

did black people not get reparations? natives here got them like a long while ago and other benefits... but i srs feel bad for them still. their culture and language was totally destroyed. i think it's like only 1-3% of them know their native language now. and they are looked at as foreigners when this is where they're from.

We have our own problems. But America's taking it to the next level right now.

Absolutely not. I never owned slaves and my relatives didn’t either. Hell they didn’t get here till the early 1900’s. I dont owe chit. If anything the taxpayers are owed back for the trillions spent on worthless social programs.
I get a tax deduction just by hanging out here

Wut? Paying people who were never slaves by people who never owned slaves? I mean, I get the basic idea behind it, but I no longer believe thatsocioeconomic factorsdecide the fate of people anymore. It's mostly on the people themselves. Gotta put the blame where it's supposed to go.

And also...what a shock...people want free money

Slavery

Police brutality

The assassinations of Martin, Malcolm, Nipsey & Fred Hampton
Birther movement

For all that bullsh!t they've had to put up with for the past 400 years, I'd say they deserve something.

Sh!t, I think the Natives deserve something, too.

Stacey from Arizona state will surely post a black square but when it comes time to part with daddy’s money for her Louie V bag all that virtue signalling goes out the window.
it makes my blood boil that in 2020 someone would even give reparations a serious thought.. i guarantee you if you oppose it publicly the SJWs will accuse you of being a racist or white supremacist.
