Paying reparations in America would be immoral- The reality of slavery in America versus everywhere else

[DukeU]

Could be. You may not think that more was needed but that is clearly false. We had Jim Crow for instance. Clearly more was needed no matter what you want to be true.

More is wanted but not needed.

Just ask successful blacks who are not and do not play the victim card.

No that's not the solution.

It was the solution.

This is a talking point, not an actual point.

IOW, you have nothing. Try making a point other than waving absently at successful people. There were rich black men DURING slavery. Do better.

So you have nothing but generalities.

Not surprising that you cannot actually articulate a point.

Your Presenting an immoral argument. Apparently not caring about slaves in other parts of the world throughout history.

Your argument is extraordinarily selfish. As if the only people of the world who were slaves were black. As if America is the only country in the world. It’s a dangerous thing to do. And in the end I don’t think your ideology will prevail. Because it would be evil for only America to give reparations payments to former slaves.

They should not but then again no one even understands what 'reparations' even means.

Only surface level bullshit ever focuses on paying anyone anything, that 'policy' is past dumb. Most of the time recreations is seriously talked about it is about investments in specific communities because that is the only concept that can be remotely put into policy terms. But no one here wants a conversation, they want partisan games.

edit: spelling

The whole world would have to invest in so-called underprivileged communities of history. That includes everyone. At various points through history every group of people went through a struggle. you even have societies where entire groups struggled regardless of their race.

This thing should not be a discussion. It’s a topic for radical left wingers. Let’s actually try and do something serious like end homelessness in America. Figure out a better healthcare system for our country because we’re the most obese country in the world.

The level of selfishness of the reparations crowd in America is there for all to see.

If poor homeless white men were excluded from opportunity by government policy , they should sue for reparations. But they can't because white men get the most preferences and if they are poor and homeless it actually is because they made poor choices.

Poor people of any color make bad choices. They smoke more, They drink more. They gamble and play lottery more. They buy more unhealthy food. That's why they are poor.

That addresses nothing I have said whatsoever. Not even tagentally.

US policies apply to the US. That is not 'selfish.' That is just a fact. That you want to point to other nations doing bad things to justify the idea you do not have to address bad things here actually is rather selfish of you though.

Keep hiding behind other nations. It shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. The sad part is that I have to deal with imbecilic arguments like you make in the OP when I agree with positions and it huts them immensely.

You guys are so damn blind you cant even see it.

More absently waving at rich people. Chat GPT would make a better argument.

They got rich because of all the opportunity afforded to blacks in this country.
