The Dead End of Reparations - Why it is a Very Bad Idea

[IM2]

Jim Crow was because of demofks

Wrong, it was bi partisan. We had 20 presidents between the end of the civil was. 12 were Republicans and they did nothing to end Jim Crow.

But descendants of confederate soldiers were getting reparations as late as 2017.

Where? Produce your evidence.

Go look for it. Because the fact confederates got any federal money is bs.

You claimed it, you prove it.

Jim Crow is not ancient history and the draft was not slavery. My dad got drafted and still faced racism from whites.

Every white person on this board receives racism from you.

It will fly. Reparations have been given to others by this government.

Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Not now. Not in another 150 years. Never.

You claimed it, you prove it.

You guys claim a lot of things you don't prove. So go look for it because the fact thhat ANY confederate soldier received money from the United States government as pension for war is bs.

The opposition to black reparations is based on sheer racist hatred. Precedents have been set as other groups who have been harmed by the government have received reparations. As for the tired worn out excuse of “why should I pay for something I did not do,” here is an example of reparations made in modern times for things done by past generations.

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..

I don't believe the federal government paid any Confederate soldier a military pension.
If you think you have any evidence that they did, you should post it.
Until then, I'll continue to laugh at your confusion.

The problem with you trying whataboutism is that I'm not lying.

The problem with you trying whataboutism is that I'm not lying.

You can't prove a single confederate soldier got a military pension from the US government.

But you'll keep whining about it.

It doesn't make the slightest bit of difference... no Reparations... ever...

Reparations will eventually be paid.

Blacks are 13% of the US population... you don't have the legislative muscle to make it happen...

Reparations are like cutting Social Security... the Kiss-of-Death at the ballot-box... ain't gonna happen...
