Zone1 For people now 60+, will we be forced to pay reparations in our lifetimes?

[Lisa558]

If we don’t stop the leftist-orchestrated decline, there might at some point be a scheme to give out a small fortune to blacks who did nothing to earn it. Do any of my contemporaries think it might occur in our remaining lifetimes (say, within the next 25 or 30 years)?

I would prefer to pre-pay my taxes and have tax-free income rather than have my money confiscated for this robbery, or to contribute to any part of the socialist nightmare.

What say you? In our lifetimes, or not?

No, I don't think anything will ever come of that. I think the country is beginning to turn toward the right because of the terrible crime problems and the craziness beliefs the Left tries to force, and a lot of this really nutso stuff like "reparations" will just vanish with a new Trump or DeSantis administration.

I hear if you were black for 10 years CA is going to give you 5 million.

This is one time I hope the source did make that shit up since it's crazy beyond words.

Black attorneys slam California’s plan to give $5M to each longtime Black resident

I sure hope you’re right! It also shows how critical it was to gain control of the House: if Harris or some other leftist racist is elevated to the presidency before Biden‘s term ends, we can block their horrific attempts to “transform” America - as they have been threatening since Obama.

Where would they get the money for that?!

Also, who is ”black for ten years” - and not before? Transracists?

Agreed.

I worry about that Harris woman. Something is seriously wrong with her --- I've read transcripts of her botched speeches; she really can't talk sensibly, apparently. If she becomes prez we're in even worse trouble than we're in now and that is saying something.

/----/ It's even wackier than I thought.
They will also receive a lump sum payment to “compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced.”

The proposal also says qualifying low-income households should have their income supplemented to match the city’s median income – $97,000 annually beginning in 2022 – for the next 250 years.

 

[rightwinger]

It all comes down to why does this generation of blacks deserve reparations while other generations do not?

If we pay this generation reparations, don’t their children and grandchildren deserve reparations just as much? Answer is, they don’t.

Paying reparations does not absolve our historical guilt over slavery.

 

[Lisa558]

Agreed.

She seems like she’s on drugs. She breaks into laughter when something isn’t funny.

OMG. So blacks who drop out of high school will be rewarded with the same lifestyle as whites who study hard, win partial scholarships to college, work hard there to keep their scholarships active, and then have a part-time job to help pay expenses, and then take an entry-level job in their field, and spend years working their way up to $90,000 a year?

And this should continue for the next ten generations?

What’s unfair about that?

I think a lot of women do that ------ that nervous laughter thing, aggressively laughing a challenge away? So she doesn't have to answer it, she hopes.

She was only a low-level politician and never got the training in advanced social skills the senators and governors get along the way during their winnowing years. The vice-president's office is no place to learn the basic skills, IMO. Some of her answers, in transcript, have been so incoherent that I wonder if something worse is going on.

Reparations is:
People who never owned slaves.
Being forced to give money to people who were never slaves. ..

LOL....Your move NY....You know how they hate for CA to one-up them on retardedness.

Also, who is ”black for ten years” - and not before? Transracists?

Yes, I caught that too! That's just what I thought. I think the poster meant it that way, a joke.

Yes, she does show signs of mental illness. Normal people don’t act that way.

I agree with reparations where specific loss and damage can be proven.

Jews are able to receive reparations for specific paintings that were stolen from their family during the 30s

Japanese Americans were reimbursed for their internment during WWII

I think blacks from Tulsa should be reimbursed for the homes and businesses that were taken from them in the Tulsa race riots

Not really, suppose you IDed as black for ten years?
