that would take a constitutional amendment- do you think 3/4ths of states are voting to allow reparations?

I was thinking more along the lines of free job training, parenting help, scholarships.

So something like affirmative action in school admissions and preferential hiring for government contracts. We've done that and it has had material success. But then we decided that we were done with that and we've moved on to managing feelings. The results have been less impressive.

Yeah, I think we need to go back to this area. Maybe additional mental health help. Parenting help and assistance. Job help. Transporation help. Actual teaching and assistance with skills and needs.

All that is good, but what is necessary is a check compensating the free labor, the damages prospering communities destroyed, rape and murder with impunity of men/women/children, separation from babies, torture endured while in bondage and interment camps, etc that has happened to Black people on American soil for over 600 years. That would be a start.

No. A "check" is not needed, is not a start, and couldn't be accurately delivered. You're looking at something that won't help even if we made up some arbitrary and inaccurate determination of who should receive such a check.

If that's the best idea you have, no wonder "CRT" isn't getting anywhere.

it can be figured out. The white supremacists just don’t want Blacks to have anything. They never have, always wanted to keep the wealth for themselves, and give Black people crumbs, if anything at all.

Jews and Japanese have gotten reparations for mistreatment that didn’t even happen on American soil. Native American’s have even gotten reparations, yet Black people haven’t gotten anything but a hard way to go.

No. Japanese people who were personally mistreated by the government have received reparations. While reparations might have been part of the original plan following the Civil War, it didn't happen. It is not time now.

There are other actions that work. We've done them. We can continue some and return others, as well as add additional actions. If we have the will. Instead we're stuck on fantasy and impossibilities.

Getting back to the topic FCPS should not be teaching one group of students their families have a right to confiscate the savings of the families of another group of students in the future based on their respective skin colors.

I agree and that’s just what has been done every since FCPS opened. I never heard of any school speaking out against what happened in Tulsa, Rosewood, Elaine, Wilmington, Colfax, Atlanta and other thriving Communities where the descendants of slaves were thriving.
When we bomb foreign countries we go in and build them back up. What happened in those places is ridiculous and we need make an effort to correct these wrong acts.

Is that your way of saying things are working well under the system of white supremacy and you want it to continue as is?

Sounds similar to that “just get over it” or the basic “I’m white and I say so” stuff.

^^^ I meant, That's not what I'm saying. But we're not speaking the same language if you cannot see that some specific government actions help POC and that some of those actions can be continued and others can be restarted.

Policing feelings, which is what you want to do, is unproductive and ineffective. Policing actions, that's effective.

There were some people on TV last week when Biden spoke about what happened in Tulsa who lived through being put in internment camps, losing everything they own after being bombed by the US government. They are still living and what type compensation have they received? Do you think losing everything effects what type of legacy they can leave to their family?

Those government actions you are talking about can help everyone. We didn’t tell the Japanese and the Native Americans to be satisfied with government actions for POC’s. They received specific compensation and they didn’t suffer 600 years of this type of mistreatment.

Let’s address the specific mistreatment of what happened to the descendants of the slaves that built the wealth of the US without being paid and are still enduring the gaslighting and sabotage that has been happening to their people for the last 600 years. Can we focus on compensating that?

Compensate that and you won’t need any government actions to give them crumbs so they can stay on the bottom.

The Tulsa massacre was not a federal matter. Are you thinking of something else?
