Reparations for Slavery.

Yes, it is. My daughter and I were discussing this not long ago. Part of it is the media's fault. They always put a Black/Hispanic face on welfare/food stamps/housing assistance programs. Of course anyone with critical thinking skills would know people of all races and nationalities receive public assistance.

 

But aren't they the face of generational welfare?

 

Holy hell you have a kid?

And you're filling her head with insane nonsense such as "give every Black person $2 million dollars oh by the way just take it from the White man"?

If I knew you I'd file a report with Child Protective Services.

You are literally destroying, or depending on her age already have destroyed, your kids life by filling her head with this sort of BS.

 

Of course the media can help influence peoples' opinions, it is after all the only view of welfare most of us see.
When we see stories of abuse, like the single mothers who tend to have multiple kids for the sole purpose of getting more money, etc., we need to be honest about who the topics of those stories are. Likewise, the workers' comp. stories I see, where someone collecting for an injury is videotaped golfing or helping a friend move....those are often middle aged white men.

I think the images of abuse are what drive people to see all welfare recipients the same.

Still an incorrect accusation to just write off all welfare recipients as black.
Especially when it's used as an insult, as we saw in that earlier post.
Ignorance creates comments like his.

 

Not neccesarily. Have you ever read about the poverty of rural areas of Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and other parts of the Deep South? Much of it is the generational poverty of Whites.
I do not look down on poor people the way some folks do. I'd rather see my tax money used to help the poor than to wage wars in foreign lands. I have empathy for poor people no matter what color they are. I guess that comes from growing up poor.

 

My kid is 41 years old; I don't think Child Protective Services would be interested in us. She is not being destroyed; she is going to school to be an RN. I have never even discussed this idea of reparations with her. She actually has much different political views than I do. She didn't even vote for Obama!

Micketto, is that you in your avatar?

 

No. That is the beautiful Alison Brie, an actress.
I am a white male who would love to wake up next to her, that's all.

I just use pics of female celebs I find beautiful, for no real reason.

Although one goof here called me racist because they're always white girls.

 

Great idea, Obama will order to the Fed to print the billions US$ needed to cover the expense ... generating a tremendous inflation [!]. You know him: how to face an economical problem? By a "stimulus", what else?

I would prefer the form of the life annuity. 2,000,000 / 50 years = 40,000 US$ per year.

Well more manageable for public treasure and no risk of inflation.

 

TBH, the money would be spent and lost within a generation. This country is massively in debt and I don't trust the strength of its fiat money. The goal should be in arable land and decent acreage where the US can't up and say, "Well we need the land so too bad too bad." Moreover, slave descendants shouldn't have to pay any taxes for the next 500 years. With this, the US should be free of guilt so long as they keep from trying to undermine or indirectly influence any pioneers. Those who are not interested in this proposal can try their hand with the money.

 

I'm pretty sure payment was made in full by the 100s and thousands of whites who died in the civil war to end slavery. Your welcome. Case closed

 

#thoselivesdon'tmatter

 

But the Affirmative Action programs, and all the money Whites have lost for 50+ years now, require that Whites need to receive reparations$$$$$ for all the money they have lost. However the money to be paid to Whites to compensate for AA losses, should not come from the govt, and innocent taxpayers. It should come from the personal pockets of the guilty people who have created these racist AA programs (ex. NAACP), and supported them, and others who have supported anti-White racism,MOD EDIT - Rule 3

 

But there hasn't been any payment made to the descendants of those civil war soldiers who fought to free the slaves. Those descendants still need to be compensated for the loss of life of their slave-freeing ancestors. That should include non-military abolitionists and their descendants too.

 

You really need to re-read the TOS.

 

When I read the OP, at first I thought it was a joke. I'm still not sure even now, but when it comes to Blacks grabbing for money they didn't earn, nothing surprises me.

Why ????

 

Absolutely, it is a way to go. Overwhelming majority of people in U.S. either were born after segregation policies have been abolished many of them are children of immigrants or immigrants themselves. Those people have nothing to do with slavery or segregation, but they have suffered big time from racial bias, so they should be compensated.

 

When you have to ask why you prove that you do. Not to worry, you will be getting an explanation soon enough.

 

What;s the matter ? Don'r have the courage of your convictions ? Hit and run job ?

 

Comparing the case for reparations for Blacks because of slavery, with the case for reparations for Whites because of Affirmative Action, this is a no contest.

1. Reparations for Blacks because of slavery

If someone was a one year old slave, in the last full year of slavery (1865), that person would now be 150 years old. Obviously they are all dead. If someone was the child of a slave who was an adult aged 20, in 1865, and therefore their economics could have been affected adversely, and their parent was as old as 60 when they were born, that person would have been born in 1905, and would now be 110 years old. There may be a very few that old who were born when their slave parent was 60, and there may be none. There is little or no case for reparations for Blacks because of slavery.

2. Reparations for Whites because of Affirmative Action

This would include all American Whites living today, in all the states where AA is not banned (42 of them) + states where AA is only partially banned. It also includes people who are retired now, but who worked during the 50 years of the AA period (1965 - 2015). This would add up to hundreds of millions of Whites. It could also include some non-whites who are also non-Blacks (ex Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, etc) who have been discriminated against in AA programs, denying services to all but Blacks. This is a huge case in favor of reparations for Whites and some other non-Blacks.

 

Please read the truth about AA.

 

Some posts are not worth reading.

 

For some reason, people keep thinking Black people are living it up on Affirmative Action. Somebody's gotta link 'em to a reality check.

 

hey guys, you have a great argument, if only it made any sense!

 

why should the slavemasters receive cookies for freeing slaves? they should all have been executed on the spot.

 

Sorry, DarkSkies. I thought I was on a different post.
