Africans didn't force us on ships to America to work for free LOL.

You're also forgetting Jim Crow laws, the genocides, etc.

I would go as far as to saying reparations would introduce more tax payers. Right now whites are probably paying a big burden, a lot of which is wasted. Add in illegal immigrants and it's no wonder the middle class is disappearing

Just where in the fuk do you think the money the gov't pays out comes from? Take a friggin' macro economics class. The stupid is hurting my head with you two.
A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. And that's why the USA is a constitutional republic and not a democracy.

Nothing is equal. Equality is the moral imperative of the retarded.

I didn't get a 350 year head start. So if you want to base it off that then sure, I'll take my reparations as well

No fuk those babies.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

No need to think about a way. The federal govt can just pay for it. No need to involve individuals (who had nothing to do with it). I hope your aware your taxes are going toward reparations for the holocaust

You could give them a million dollars each and it wouldn't help. Anyone who thinks they are continual victims will never improve their lives. same goes for poor white trash they have the same mind set.

Ever notice how new black immigrants do not have these problems?

Lol yes you did. You live on land that is not native to your people. That was built by people who forced to do it for free while being tortured. The resources of the land enabled your people to acquire wealth and pass it down generations.

FYI there are more whites on welfare than blacks.
Again with the stupidity. Whites make up 60%+ of the population, blacks 13%+, Hispanics 18%+, so of course there are more whites on welfare.

Except none of the infrastructure where I live was built by slaves. And my people (my ancestors) did not have any wealth to accumulate and pass down

So yes I'll take my reparations check please

dude go to any residential construction site in the south, you'll find its nothing but Mexican immigrants that barely speak english and have ~5th grade educations. Yet they are making bank doing roofing, remodeling, foundation repair, electrical work etc, most drive brand new Silverados and their kids are living well and getting educated. where was their head start?

We agree if Black people will pay for all the money they cost the criminal justice system.

I think were even.

I don't understand the resistance of paying towards reparations.

You'd rather your taxes go towards the drug war? Why not help fellow Americans, while also eliminating hate? And as I said prior, reparations would introduce more high paying tax payers. Whites are most likely probably paying the majority now

Your going to pay taxes to the gov't regardless. They're going to decide what do with it. If you dont like them using your tax money for reparations you can always ............


Protest lmao

Anyway your tax money is going to reparations for the Holocaust and Japanes internment. Also going to a bunch of other countries in the form of aid.

We also pay the Taliban to keep Afghanistan stable.

Imagine if we just used that money to keep our own country stable

America FIRST !!!!

What else do they need? Easy admissions, countless scholarships, affirmative action, welfare?

If they can't succeed with that, then they're the problem

The left would never let that happen. Potential reparations being held out eternally represents false hope people can vote for.

The lack of term limits provides incentives to keep issues like race smoldering forever. If politicians had 4 years to build a legacy you would start to see actual progress.

No, there's nothing that can make me support reparations. And I don't believe in negotiating with terrorists, if they keep rioting they should be slaughtered in the street by the military

I've explained it before, but admissions, affirmative action, etc. Are all bread crumbs from Liberals. Disguised programs to make them look like they're our friends so they get our votes

What would you do with (whatever the proposed amount of reparations is) let's say $10,000, right now?

You are equating me not wanting to give hand outs to people based on the color of their skin as me being racist. If you can't see the irony in that then I seriously do not know what to tell you
