    you make no effort to defend it and it appears to be nothing more than the symptom of the disease of class envy

    Your reparations is still a handout, and you cannot define who gets it or why.
    That said your tax idea is Robin Hood syndrome and the exact reason people will do just about anything to avoid paying taxes.

    you’ve turned it into a cash cow for stupid people.

    Reparation was, and still is a political vanishing carrot for votes, pure and simple.
    It has to wind up in SCOTUS, and how can they justify paying money for generations far removed, therefor short changing generations yet to arrive..

    ok, you want some people to get free **** and not others, and to tax certain people to give money to the first group again. well, that is really silly and perpetuates a negative attitude towards those who want free stuff.

    those people are a cancer eating away at society.

    How would you change the white culture to make it less racist? (For that matter, how would blacks change the black culture to make it less racist?)
    Cultures tentacles are far deeper than you seem to think. Think how long it's taken to embrace equal rights for women.

    Most of our society has what is arguably a poor attitude toward education.

    good news is no one is getting any reparations as the entire concept is stupid from start to finish. Playing Robin Hood is fine if you want to do it, but not an acceptable use of tax dollars.

    Black culture by and large is not proven to be racist. White culture on the other hand has a sordid history of being a racist one. Idont appreciate the comment even if it is in brackets. You know this, stop trying to appease to the forum mob. Be yourself

    You just pretend otherwise

    The choice of whether to embrace or reject elements of a culture is entirely individual. It's on each of us to reject the bad and keep the good, as we see fit.

    So what. You expect migrants to reject negatives of their cultures (eg not throw gays from the top of buildings, or practice female genital mutilation, or sell their 14 year old daughters into arranged marriages, etc etc), so why would it be any different for locals?

    There are plenty of American parents who take education seriously. Mostly those who embraced that element of their particular culture.

    That would be my assessment, too.
    True.
    You might inquire as to the reason for my remark.

    As you know, there is an element on the forum who think whatever complaint they have about black communities is best resolved by 'blacks fixing the black community.' Okay--they should tell blacks do to fix [fill in the blank]? I'm prepared to give them a shot. :roll: :roll: While they're at it, they can tell white people how to fix the racism in their community. Of course, they don't have answers for any of it.

    I'm waiting for answers with an explanation for why they make sense.
