When was ERA passed? When did women get the right to vote? Are black women ... women? Beyond repealing Jim Crow, congress sought to prevent future discrimination, and hiring quotas resulted in positions being surrendered, or positions being created to meet quotas. Thus, previously discriminated applicants were given priority. They also got compensation by suing companies that had discriminated against them. ERA and AA are supposed to be what minorities like most about democrats. Now you're saying ERA oppresses minorities, although minority women benefit?
I wonder if they’ll go after their tribal ancestors heirs for selling them into bondage. Additionally, do white people get to sue the Moors?
Nobody deserves reparations, including those still alive and were slaves or were interned in camps. Get over it. Real Americans earn a living, not beg for handouts. That is what Democrats and their bootlicking followers will never understand.
Wow, we all wore tux's, picked up our dates and gave them corsages. Our goal was to look as good as possible, stylish and to get a limo ride. My, how times have changed.
So you think AA is reparations for 200+ yrs of slavery and almost 100yrs of Jim Crow, racism and discrimination.
Move on. You side with the party that supported slave ownership, the Democrats. The Republicans were formed to combat slavery. You are on the wrong side of justice and then are crying about it.
And the reparations went to 100,000 surviving victims of Japanese internment.....not to 3rd & 4th generation of those victims.
Ok, so there are many black folks still alive today that lived through Jim Crow, you are talking to one.
So? Your hatred or alleged perception of other people hating folks is all in your head. Just like your reparations argument. Begging for handouts isn't justified. I was working in 1988, were you even born yet?
I cited / replied to your comment on Jim Crow. But yes it is one facet or reparations, and FDR's segregationist free pubic housing was another. The constitutional amendment, AA, desegregation laws serve no other purpose than to compensate minorities for inequalities. The fact that democrats by design included other minority groups that were treated unfairly doesn't mean compensation for mistreatment of blacks wasn't the intent.
What % of black folks do you think moved to public housing and wasn't white folks eligible for the same public housing? So how would that be reparations. Those items stopped the injustices, it didn't pay restitution for the injustices that were done. That makes no sense.
Since always. I have figured it out. You want a handout you don't deserve. Work for a living and earn your own way, nobody is going to hand you prosperity. Except maybe rich parents.
Who cares? Why can't they get jobs and support themselves? Maybe you should be looking at paying restitution for all the money wasted on public housing. I want my money back for having to pay for this and all the people in prison who break the law. Most are black. They owe me. Sound reasonable? Explain......
My fervent prayer is that the Dems are stupid enough to run on a platform including reparations..........the electoral map will look like that time McGovern ran.........
I think Affirmative Action ( I.e. reverse racism),welfare, food stamps, prison costs, head start and midnight basketball should about cover the tab.......for anyone still bitching, Delta is ready when you are with daily one-way flights to Africa........
Ladies and gentlemen this is your typical, right wing, conservative, republican and this is the party you think black folks should be a part of.
I guess you blew all your money on weed, didn’t contribute to a 401k or IRA and now you are just hoping for free turds.
I'd look at it another way. Not having to live in countries like Ghana and Somalia was a signing bonus. Historically, people had to pay big bucks to get to America. When you consider the time value of money.............this whole reparations thing could get flipped another way. See........I just put on my Democrat tin foil hat. See the kind of solutions that can render?
