What could reparations look like today? Keep It 100: Black in America



Do you agree?
Somewhere in the bowels of deepest hell, Satan is assessing the potential of this shyte as the permanent soundtrack to an eternity of being hosed down with Bernard Manning's diarrhea.

Interesting video. I liked hearing everyone viewpoint. I'll throw mine in.

Reparations should be given to people who were affected by Jim Crow era laws or during the Civil Rights movement. This is basically your parents, and grandparents.

At what point do you start moving forward and stop complaining about previous generations?

Get over it already and take responsibility for your own life.

Because the government has put black America at a starting point in life that is further behind than white America because the color of our skin. You think that after 1968 that racism in America was gone? That blacks and whites were suddenly now equal?

Your parents generation were directly affected, thus YOUR generation was directly affected by racism and laws governed by this country

To be fair, the people interviewed for this video doesn't represent all black folx. Rational black folx are busy working and providing for their family instead of wasting time doing stupid hypothetical interviews.

In today’s America, Blacks are their own worst enemy with the amount of violence that plagues their community. I would agree with you 50+ years ago but there eventually comes a point where the black community has to own up to their own shortcomings and failures.

I'm saying there are less than there should be, due to the laws in place that people like your parents and grandparents lived through

Reparations will solve nothing, just a smoke show to get votes and attention lmao

Everyone has a chance in life now days, take what you want from it and do something productive. Or continue down the same path blaming others and putting yourself down.

Can we just call welfare 'reparations' and call it a day?

Today's Black America was a by product of the government putting drugs into the community, assassinating/locking up leaders in the black community, over policing the community, etc.

Members of my family did benefit from the legal protections afforded them through legislation when they were passed up for promotions and hiring back i the 70's. However, at this point in time, they government can only do so much and at some point, we have to move on. Nothing is perfect but things are decent enough that black folk can find good employment and live good lives. More government involvement at this pint won't make anything better.
Go look back at my standing on reparations on post #4

Without slavery, most black people in the U.S. wouldn't exist. If they could go back to the past and prevent slavery, I wonder how many would do it knowing that it would mean they would never be born.

Again, I agree with your points but they’re outdated for today’s times. At the end of the day, it’s the black community that is pulling the trigger and pushing the drugs to each other.
