You’ve been warned repeatedly that we are in Zone 1, and your false ans inflammatory attacks are against the rules.I don't take advice from racists especially for things that are totally unnecessary.
You sure are twisting into a pretzel to convince whites that the cost of reparations would not be in their backs.Well what those like YOU need to learn is that reparations would be paid out of taxes already paid. Whites have recieved at least 8 handouts from the government that blacks helped pay for but did not get to use. So your opposition to reparations is not about equal protectiion, it is about the racist belief that we should be happy whitey brought us here from Africa.
And please don't try using the woman card again. White women were the number 1 beneficiary of Affirmative action.
Yes.That sounds like the EEOC paid her to go away. If she had a case, she would have gone to trial and got millions from the EEOC, she certainly wouldn’t have settled out of court.
/---/ Any Black can say they are descended from slaves. How do you prove it? How about those who are only partially Black, say 10%? What about other races held in slavery?It's constitutional for descendants of American slaves.
If you're a descendant of an American slave, then it's constitutional to repair the harm done to them and their descendants.
Wouldn't be out of my pocket. It will be out of the pockets of rich people, as it should be.Really? Even if the "price of admissions" means thousands of tax dollars out of YOUR pocket?
There are at least 3 problems with the concept of paying "reparations" to Black Americans who were unaffected by slavery:
1. Paying reparations to individuals not affected by slavery is on it's face absurd.
2. How would you even determine which Black individuals were eligible? Ex. Should Kamala Harris, Jamaican descendant of slave owners, receive reparations?
3. Anyone who challenges the validity of reparations is immediately labeled a racist which is total nonsense and un-American.
The Jews who survived the Holocaust got a few hundred a month, just to establish a benchmark.
Apparently, if a Jew criticizes the pro-Palestinians and thugs who screaming they want to kill Jews, the Jew is the racist one.
600,000 Americans died in the war to free the slaves. That's reparations.
I am quite sure no one living in 1980 was alive when the U.S. government made the Fort Laramie treaty with the Sioux Nation or were participants in Custers violation of that treaty. Nor were they alive when President Grant decided it was OK to let settlers and people prospecting for gold tresspass into land promised to the Sioux thereby violating the treaty. No one in 1980 was alive when the U.S. government decided to take the land from the Sioux by military force. No one in 1980 was alive when the U.S. government decided to cut off supplies they promised the Sioux as condition for their surrender after whipping the U.S. Army at The Battle of Little Bighorn. But in 1980, the government of the United States decided reparations were due to the Sioux Nation for what was done to them in the 1800’s. They awarded the Sioux nation 105 million dollars.
So what? By every objective, measurable criterion whites tend to be more intelligent than blacks. Women are usually less motivated to succeed because women prefer successful men, but men do not prefer successful women.
Requiring job applicants to pass mental aptitude tests are said to have "desperate impact" impacts, because whites and Orientals tend to perform better than Negroes. The aptitude tests accurate predict performance levels.
Blacks have higher poverty rate because of 400 years of institutionalized racism Anti-Black racism is written into the DNA of this country since the first black person was brought over as a slave in 1619.Blacks have higher poverty rates than whites because they have lower IQ averages. They have higher incarceration rates than whites because they have higher crime rates.
A lot of numbers and ways of determine it have been thrown around including whether it should be cash, programs etc. When it was done by Germany, for the Jews and the US for Japanese American survivors of internment, the cash amount was a token amount, intended to reflect a sincere intent and apology by the government, rather than the actual costs of the harm done which could, in some cases be incalculable.Come on Mariyam, exactly how much do white people owe you in reparations? And what is your justification for that number?
Reality check: those “poor rubes” also enslaved them…and then allowed legal discrimination to be put into law to ensure that the culture that supported slavery continued. Gratitude is a messy demand here, perhaps it should be dropped from the argument?What a repulsive thing to say about the men who gave their lives to end slavery. Guess those poor rubes died for nothing. Your emancipated ancestors would be ashamed of your lack of gratitud.
What constitutes “valid”?You sure are twisting into a pretzel to convince whites that the cost of reparations would not be in their backs.
So it’s paid out of taxes already paid? So what? Those taxes could have gone to something valid, and now whites will have to kick in MORE taxes to pay for what the “already-paid taxes” went to,
For White veterans. For Black veterans, returning to a segregated America, those benefits didn’t exist. White owned banks still wouldn’t provide a mortgage, housing was still redlined forcing them to buy homes in poorer districts worth less, many universities still wouldn’t accept Blacks.
Nope. Stop stereotyping white people based on the color of their skin. Those poor rubes never enslaved anyone. They gave their lives to end slavery. But today bigots call them oppressors.Reality check: those “poor rubes” also enslaved them…and then allowed legal discrimination to be put into law to ensure that the culture that supported slavery continued.

Baloney. There is no where in the world were blacks are better off. Yet, somehow they are being “held back” here. The only people holding blacks back are the people who promote ideas like racism being written into the DNA of this country.Blacks have higher poverty rate because of 400 years of institutionalized racism Anti-Black racism is written into the DNA of this country since the first black person was brought over as a slave in 1619.
As a group, you are insisting Blacks should be grateful to Whites, as a group. Yet Whites also perpetrated and benefitted from slavery and then imposed or allowed the imposition of Jim Crowe.Nope.

Speakimg for myself, I said that the blacks in Dad’s college and Mom’s college, back in the 1940s and 1950s, all of whom received a free education paid for by the government, should be grateful to AMERICA for providing that life-changing opportunity.As a group, you are insisting Blacks should be grateful to Whites, as a group. Yet Whites also perpetrated and benefitted from slavery and then imposed or allowed the imposition of Jim Crowe.
If you categorize Blacks as a group…why not Whites then?
