Zone1 Broad-brush reparations to all blacks is unconstituional

[IM2]

It gives a solid basis for lawsuits seeking damages.

Again, in the case of the Japanese it was clearly unconstitutional what happened to them, and was paid only to those who suffered the acts.

Slavery wasn't unconstitutional until the 13th amendment banned it. Separate but equal was found to be wrongly Constitutional by Plessey, then correctly nullified by the SC.

That is the extent of what is owed to the people today, the bad laws were fixed.

No, that's not the extent. Because white got economic benefits that blacks were denied to the tuned of at least 500 trillion in todays money.

There are NO CONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS where white contractors are a minority. Understand? AA itself provided whites with the majority of opportunities because whites are the majority race. But since whites have lived under the delusion that they aren't a race, people like you could not see that. Then we have the entitlement mentality that comes with racism that makes some whites believe they are supposed to get everything.

That doesn't make any sense. The NYC government creates a system where Contractors are FORCED to sub out 30% of their contracts to minority owned businesses, or face penalties. This basically eliminates white owned subcontractors from bidding on subcontracts.

So two small contractors, the only difference being their race, one gets the work, the other doesn't.

And that's not racism as long as the one getting screwed over is white?

Made up number is made up. Unrealized theoretical gains are not losses. The people fooled by Madoff tried that and didn't get very far.

Again, the other 70 percent goes to whites. 70 PERCENT!

Is that not enough?

Resonate this understanding:

WHITE IS A RACE! THIS MEANS THAT WHITE CONTRACTORS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED BASED ON RACE FOR 70 PERCENT OF THOSE CONTRACTS!

No, it doesn't, it goes to the main contractor, who you just assume is white.

and the main contractor is usually larger than subs, and don't compete on the same field. I'm saying the small white contractors are the ones being discriminated against, which you haven't been able to counter besides ignoring the point entirely.

 

[IM2]

Made up number is made up. Unrealized theoretical gains are not losses. The people fooled by Madoff tried that and didn't get very far.

No, the number is not made up. During the 1950's alone whites got 120 billion in government handout which is the eqivalent to at least 500 trillion today.

 

[martybegan]

No, the number is not made up. During the 1950's alone whites got 120 billion in government handout which is the eqivalent to at least 500 trillion today.

Why not make it a trillion billion zillion billion?

I know how this works. The majority of contracts go to whites and it's often based only on race. Whites are not 100 percent of the qualified contractors so they should not get 100 percent of tthe worrk.Small white contracttors are not being discriminated against is they have a 70 percent chance of a contract. Again, WHITE IS A RACE! Understand that.

That small contractor isn't winning the big contract, yet he can't compete for a slice of it because all subcontracts have to go to minority subcontractors for the main contractor to meet the requirement.

I find it astounding you can't get this.

Also if whites are getting 70% of the business, when they constitute 70% of the population, that is how it should be.

Again, made up numbers are made up.

Why not make it a trillion billion zillion billion?

Not.

The buying power of 120 billion 1950s dollars was calculated with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Inflation Calculator, which produces measurements in increments of 10 million dollars, where 10 million 1950s dollars as of January 1950 has the same buying power of 103,259,148.94

Whites are 60 percent of the population today. But thaks for showing how whites aren't being discriminated against.

30 percent is not all the subcontracts.

That's a lot of made up math there.

 

[martybegan]

30 percent is not all the subcontracts.

50% is the usual cap, and contractors usually only sub out around 30% because you don't make profit on your subbed out value. you have to document the pass through to your minority subcontractors to show the 30% total contract value.

White people ended a situation they created. Slavery only became a profitable business in Africa because white people were paying top dollar for slaves.

You are just wrong. You are ignorant of history. I guess it’s not that you choose to over simplify the issue, you just don’t know what you are talking about.

Your liberal hatred for white people is an embarrassment. White people did not “create” the problem. Slavery in Africa dates back before recorded history. And your claim that only evil white people made it a “profitable business” demonstrates how ignorant about the issue you are.

Slavery has ALWAYS been profitable in Africa. Both the importing and exporting of slaves is well documented dating back thousands of years before “white people” ever became involved in trading African slaves. Before the trans Atlantic slave trade ever existed there was the Trans-Saharan slave trade and the Indian Ocean slave trade. Both were very profitable, involved millions of slaves and involved zero evil white people.

Let's be blunt. White people are kind of awful. We need to be better.

White liberals are very awful, ignorant and hateful. I’m under no illusion they are capable of doing better.

 

[el midgetron]

That's pretty accurate. Republicans have been opposing immigration reform since the mid-aughts.

We have a problem with immigration because our system is truly messed up, and doesn't reflect reality.

It should not take 5 years to get a hearing on an asylum claim.

The US takes in more legal immigrants than any other country in the world. Illegal Immigration subverts that system of legal immigration. Liberal open boarder policies disadvantage people in other parts of the world who cannot just walk across the boarder.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yes, your Italian grandfather benefitted from Jim Crow.

Obama did no damage to race relations. You can't do more damage something that was never fixed.

Yoiur last 3 lines are lies and you have shoown that you're a racist.

According to USMB's most racist poster, pointing out the damage Born in Kenya Barack has done to race relations makes me a "racist"
