I wonder what he thinks about the Armenian genocide. 1.5 million people slaughtered. Black slavery in America can't hold a candle to those numbers. When are you hypocritical Turkish fuks gonna pay the Armenians, eh? JFL.

No. I disagree with the entire principle of the reparations and identity politics. I don't think it would make any change in the black communities. I don't think just giving people any amount of money will.

Didn't we just send reparations? I didn't get any Trump bucks. Only poor people got it. Figured that was the PC way to give them their reparations without calling it such and making them feel bad.

In the context of "if you dont give us reparations, we will continue to destroy," that isTHEdefinition ofDomestic Terrorism

You can easily apply this to reparations. The problem today is that liberals see the black community as helpless victims all the time. They cant help what they do and all their problems are the fault of the slave trade. There is no accountability ever.

If that happened it would just be Black Wallstreet and Tulsa Race Riots all over.

Also y'all can cut that "go back to where you came from" BS stuff too. I have family members that served in WW1 and served in the law enforcement and the military. This country is mine just like any other American.

No, what does a 3 gen african american being paid money have to do with the actual slaves that went through those real times. It would solve nothing.

Just LOL. With the amount of black on black crime we already have in the country, you don’t think they’d kill each other at an EXPONENTIALLY higher rate if each and every one of them was walking around with 450k in their pockets? They’d probably be run down close to extinction.

A lot of that crime is caused by the artificial creation of black markets by the government prohibition of substances. Ending that would be a lot more helpful than cash payment reparations

my white family immigrated to the US from Scotland and Norway after the civil war ended and my filipino side immigrated here in the 70s. just like millions of americans, most of us had nothing to do with slavery.....so why should we pay into it?

are african americans going to go after reparations from africa? they sold themselves into slavery

are they going after UK? it was their slave ships that first brought them to the US

are they going to go after the descendants of black slave owners and get them to pay for their sins?

Anyways it’s a pointless discussion. Everyone wants to be a social justice warrior but when people actually have skin in the game and money on the line attitudes change real quick.

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.
Because you (?) benefit from the system that allowed these things to happen.

I agree.

There should be reparations for any group of people that has been unjustly persecuted for a significant period of time.

I will counter and say that Japanese in Internment Camps received millions in reparitions and them among other Asians are seen as a "model minority" so I find that interesting.

Send the blacks in america to their homes here in africa, hell come to me in south africa. Here in SA we have BEE (black economic empowerment laws) which state that 50% of your business must be black owned (for tenders - the lifeline of our public sector), we have race quotas on sports (50% national teams must be black) , we are the only country in the world to ration our covid 19 relief fund based on race(whites pay tax and the blacks receive the benefits.) and in addition we are having our land stolen by our 'democratic' government based on the fact that we are white and we are not 'africans' via expropriation without compensation. You white americans are literally just digging your own graves slowly. Welcome to liberalism *cough* communism *cough* boys. Fight it , trust me.

You're probably too young, but do a search on Cabrini-Green in Chicago. It was built for low income people and they turned it into a slum pretty quickly. From 1962 on almost all the residents were black Americans.
