Trump Suggests Reparations For White 'Victims' Of Racial Discrimination

[IM2]

I say No to that because we are not handout crybabies looking for money over what our great great grandparents did

That's because you still benefit from the money your great great grandparents got. And the money your grandparents/parents got.

Black Reparations for Twentieth Century Federal Housing Discrimination: The Construction of White Wealth and the Effects of Denied Black Homeownership​

Delving into the U.S. government’s twentieth century federal housing practices, this paper discusses how the government effectively barred black-Americans from obtaining quality housing and from investing in housing as wealth, while simultaneously subsidizing and endorsing white homeownership, white suburbs, and white wealth. Quantifying the U.S. government’s discriminatory practices with current wealth gaps between white- and black-American communities, this paper discusses the effects of twentieth century federal housing discrimination and argues that such government-initiated wrongs justify black reparations.

Part I examines the U.S. government’s housing practices—from the New Deal until the 1968 Fair Housing Act and its 1988 Amendments—to reveal that although the New Deal’s national housing programs revolutionized homeownership and home equity in the United States, the U.S. government’s federal housing programs were racially discriminatory. Specifically, and quite shockingly, the U.S. government actively created and promulgated racist neighborhood rating systems that constructed black neighborhoods and black property as unstable, volatile, hazardous, and not worthy of investment. Using these racist rating systems, the federal government endorsed racial covenants and invested federal money into the creation and accumulation of white wealth, the value of whiteness, white suburbia, and white homeownership. Meanwhile, the government denied blacks federal housing funding, fueling black stigma and barring black-Americans from the invaluable twentieth century opportunities of homeownership and home equity.

Understanding the U.S. government’s discriminatory housing practices, Part II discusses and quantifies the effects of the government’s housing discrimination on black-American households and communities. Finding that approximately 120 billion 1950s dollars—or more than 1.239 quintillion 2019 dollars—were invested to subsidize and create white-American wealth through homeownership....

Whites got their reparations and then some. This is evil and it is why some blacks call some whites devils.

MSN again? Hate filled lefties still believe the anti-Trump propaganda even though they have to be aware that MSN has been lying to America for at least the last three years? Trump "suggested" nothing of the sort.

Nobody lied and Trump did say it. He stated they would sue for the amount of the endowment then provide money to those who were impacted by equity policies. So he is suggesting reparations for whites.

The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

Proverbs 10:15.

There you have it, in one verse. That is the very basis of the Republican party, and it has been since the very beginning. Everything else is just a smokescreen. Fortify the fortress and increase the destruction, or in some versions, the "calamity" of the poor.

In no small part, it is the American way and has been since the founding. I have written about the Whiskey Rebellion in the past. Now, this nation has two bookends. The wealthiest president in American history, Donald Trump. The second wealthiest president in American history, George Washington. Trump inherited his wealth, Washington married into it.

Here is a disturbing fact. In America, someone raised in the highest quintile of income but tests in the lowest quintile on standardized tests, like the SAT, well they have a better chance of attaining a college degree than someone raised in the lowest quintile of income but testing in the highest quintile on those standardized test scores.

I mean you have a heart attack. You are in the hospital, they do a bypass or they insert a stent. Your doctor, he is from India. Why? The above is why, no other country in the world operates that way. In India, well it is highly competitive. Sure, wealthy people have more resources, they pay for tutors and test prep. But the government does it's best to "level the playing field". Germany does too, and Denmark, Sweden, they show us how it should be done.

This whole eliminating the Department of Education, it is the culmination of more than two centuries of Elitism. It is immeasurable, what this country has lost, due to that elitism. Opportunity cost, one of the most poorly understood economic concepts, damn, full fledged Phd professors miss the Dylan/Clapton question. But it is real, and this country, all of us, pay the price every damn day.

I have toyed with the idea of running for Congress, but at this point, I am eyeing the Senate in 2026. Thom Tillis, on my platform, he is vulnerable. It will take at least ten million dollars to even amount a campaign. But it is time to end elitism. Social media is the key and I have a damn army behind me, six highly successful kids.

But the kickoff of my campaign will be a recorded speech, on all social media, "Level the playing field". The status quo, well it has to be on a field with a 30% grade. With a second Trump administration, it is going to steepen to 50%. The poor, they are playing football at the bottom of the hill. The wealthy, they are at the top of the hill. And no, there is no halftime and changing fields. I am not even asking for that. Just make the damn field level.

Ok, and the inflation that was started under Biden hurt the poor the most. I thought democrats were the party of the poor? Trump put people to work with record job growth and record wage growth without the inflation to kill it all, like Biden had.

The inflation didn't start under Biden.

Absolutely it did. Biden had 1.4% inflation when he took office. Within a year it was 9%.

FactChecking Biden on Inflation, Other Claims - FactCheck.org

When President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the U.S. annual rate of inflation was 1.4% -- far from the 9% inflation Biden falsely said in a May 8 interview that he inherited. Inflation rose quickly in Biden's first year, but it didn't hit 9% until 17 months into his presidency.

Under Biden, the consumer price index rose 19.2%.

Nobody lied? MSM lied for the better part of three years about Biden's mental health. It's spin based on Soros Media Matters desperate effort to keep it's credibility viable to a diminishing left wing arena.

Trump the racist is pandering to racists.

It's racist to point out racism?

Biden inherited what he got. The inflation was a result of COVID. It was global. How many times are you guys going to repeat the idiotic stuff you repeat?

Well you racist dumbfuck, not only whites, but Asians have been widely discriminated against in admissions. All so unqualified blacks could get into a college they weren't academically qualified for.

Neither whites or Asians were discriminated against. Academically unquaified whites were the majority of admissions based on legacy. You are out of your pay grade here low c;lass scumboy, I have studied this and know what I'm taing about.

Reality says you're a liar. As do the statistics. I'm so far above you on the academic scale, you best crawl back under your rock before I embarrass you some more you little racist blowhard. Considering your grammar you were a quota admission to whatever low level school took you.

I wil hurt your feelings scrub. This ain't engish class son, nor am I paid to write here. Therefore I don't edit myself many times. Whites like you should shut up about quota aything because whites have benefitted most from whatever you say quotas are.

Todays lesson:

We find all of these arguments to be unconvincing. Here’s why:

Nevertheless, the argument that Asian Americans would benefit greatly by a test-only admissions system is not strongly supported by the data, leading to an increase of no more than 2 percentage points. Further, this focus on test scores masks how many students benefit from holistic admissions. In our test-only admissions simulation, 21 percent of Asian American students and 39 percent of non–Asian American students would be displaced and their seats would be given to students who had higher test scores. The Asian American students who would not make the cut in a test-only approach to admissions are about twice as likely as non–Asian American students who would be displaced to have the lowest scores among current enrollees. In other words, those Asian Americans who do benefit are helped considerably by the current holistic admissions approach used by selective colleges.

In the end, we don’t find that Asian American applicants are held to an unfair higher standard under holistic admissions. Rather, we find that a holistic admissions process uplifts many students, including Asian Americans.

He exacerbated the fuck out of inflation. Prices skyrocketed 30-40 percent 2 years well into his term. He owns it.
