It's hard to be "unified" when a major group in the US is still feeling the lingering effects of systemic racism.

If you don't want to prioritize one race over another, then everyone should dump ALL of their wealth together and then split it evenly across everyone in the US. We can start over so that white people aren't continued to be prioritized over everyone else - we all start off equal.



You do realize the wealthiest racial group in the US isn't white, don't you?


Uhm what? Where did you come up with that tid bit?


Asian median wealth is significantly higher than white median wealth in the US. Did you not know this? Would you like me to share some references?


I'd love that. And who would be getting the reparations again? Is the Asians?

With what imaginary money?? Wes Moore is doing this to pat his political résumé for a future presidential run. He wants to look good for the far left voters and for African-Americans.

In reality, Maryland is in a deficit and the economy under him keeps getting worse.

No one is asking you personally to pay FFS. The government did an injustice and the government will pay.


It's unbelievable how stupid some people are.

And they all came here with nothing other than willingness to work hard and make themselves better.


Some did, some were quite the opposite. It's a VERY mixed bag.


at least they are not asking for reparations for their failures


For what failures?

My heritage in partly German.

Innocent Germans in America have been oppressed repeatedly victimized by the United States government, first with discriminatory internment not only during WWII, but also during WWI, without just compensation.

My family will be demanding full and just compensation from Maryland through this new commission.

Wes Moore vetoed it. It was overridden.

How is that relevant? Are you suggesting cumulative wealth by racial group is somehow meaningful?
