Zone1 Evanston reparations

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

So if I were to produce examples, or an example of massive racial injustice and the victims are still alive, you'd be an advocate for them getting reparations?

Name a living black American who was ever owned by a white person, and provide proof.

No one is saying, nor have they said, you personally, that's your problem. It was done by the government, and as a citizen of this government, you partake in it's wins and losses.

Exactly how, SPECIFICALLY, have I personally ever profited from the slavery of a single black person in America?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

I need to confirm your principle first.

Are you a principled person, or just a usual far rightwing partisan flake?

Translation: I got nothing so it's time to start ducking and dodging and name-calling. Got it.

Do you go down and kiss the dirt that you were allowed to vote woman?

No, but I’m not bitching and complaining about how awful this country was.

Punishing people who are not responsible for something is Unjust.
But the Democrats will continue to push their Reparations policy because it divides Americans, and they profit from hate.

No, the only scumbags who should pay reparations are the BLACK tribes who stole their fellow blacks and sold them into slavery....and who still ARE engaged in slavery.

Go get it from them.

Which black tribes stopped black people buying property in the US ?

Who said any black tribes stopped black people buying property in the US?

You provide a very limited definition of oppression. There are several people in the article who have suffered from racism. Their children will also suffer from it.

You are being obtuse.

Hold the mirror a little higher.

Policies which oppress black folk were to the benefit of white folk.Particularly the white underclass.

Why not read the article ?

Soooo can Americans hold you responsible for the things that the British did to colonial American?
How about if your Father committed a crime, can we punish you for it?
It doesn't pass the ethical and justice tests.
But we know that the Democrats will use "Reparations" to incite more left wing racial hatred.

Reparations: The US town paying its black residents

Evanston, Illinois is in the middle of an unusual experiment to redress racial injustice.

There is no doubt that if you deny people the right to buy property you put a big block on their prosperity. You also deny their children the benefits that white kids get.

This leads to a two tier society in which black folk become an economic underclass.

The case for reperations is very clear.

Evanston was also the site of a horrific plane crash the killed the entire basketball team.

Laughable whataboutism. These reparations were for acts that happened in living memory.
And nobody is asking for reparations for individual acts. These crimes were committed by the state and the state should make recompense.

And taxpayers fund the state, which means that white people will end up bearing the cost for something they didn’t do.

That was Evansville.

Most Americans, read white Americans, know that a debt is owed to Black Americans, however, most still like to deny it.

Nope, few Americans other than black ones believe that a debt is owed. Show me a black slave and I will agree than any slaveowner of any color that you can find owes him or her reparations. Tell me who never owned a slave or had ancestors who never owned slaves that I owe people who were never slaves reparations and you can go pound sand.

Only 15% of white Americans - undoubtedly the self-loathing ones on the extreme left - are in favor of reparations. Sadly but not surprisingly, 75% of African-Americans like the idea of getting money for nothing (and maybe even the chicks for free) for something they themselves did not experience and from whites who has nothing to do with it.

Nearly 75% of African Americans support reparations for slavery. Only 15% of white Americans do, a poll says | CNN

Nearly 30% of all respondents supported paying reparations to African Americans whose families were enslaved, even though more than half of all respondents agreed the history of slavery continues to impact black people in American society.
