    I don't want any money, but I've got all sorts of 'one drops' that make a point. Do I pay myself?

    Make sure when you pay yourself you account for inflation.

    So you want the US government to take money off those that have never owned slaves and give it to those that have never been a slave ?

    Bizarre

    I do believe his point is that no one alive in the United States today was a slave

    As a black American I agree with these particular Democrat politicians calling for reparations 100%. Any white American who agrees as well please PM me for my bank account information to begin the process. I'm an honest guy, I'll keep the records public and whatever we agree I am owed overall I will ensure to keep a public tally so all can see how much has currently been given to me until we reach the goal. Like a GoFundMe type of thing.

    Seriously, I have some things I could use this money for to better my life. I don't want to use my own money that I managed to somehow earn as a successful upper middle class black American in such an oppressed society designed to prevent people who look like me from becoming successful upper middle class black Americans. I want to spend your money. I've earned it because I was unfortunately born in this country, you owe it to me because you were fortunately born in this country.

    White America, please right this terrible wrong. Even if you are not as well of as I, which is the majority of you, you still owe me because I am oppressed. As you stand in line at the grocery store with this weeks groceries for your white family and bite your lip as the cashier keeps scanning please remember you are of privilege. Don't mind me as I check out behind you with my pack of 100 dollar prime steaks that I routinely eat for lunch without even thinking twice about it. Your wondering of how you are going to afford your white kids upcoming birthday party after buying food is nothing compared to the pain I feel every day due to the terrible way your society treats my people as I sit on my couch and lament while sipping my $300 Japanese whiskey.

    Please finally acknowledge my struggle and do the right thing. No matter how hard I work I've still been unable to succeed here and it's all your fault for what your parents and grand parents and great great great grandparents did to mine. And even if you weren't a part of any of it it's still your fault because you are white and were born with subliminal implicit racism against me that is entrenched in your DNA and passed down from your ancestors in your blood stream even if you don't feel it.

    Or something....

    You don't show ability to provide a response beyond personally attacking those with different perspectives.

    If it's not accurate, establish the reasoning you feel that way.

    Then I guess you don't read many of my posts. But um, your side isn't the side whose beliefs are being mischaracterized in the OP. Cartoonishly so to the point you question if he really believes it. Obviously. If it's not obvious, you're neck-deep in conspiracy land. I've gone point by point before with such posts. Maybe if I find the energy I will again.

    Actual reparations should be about more than just slavery.
