It's (finally) time for reparations. It's time for the US to pay its debt.

Racist trash like you have had enough privilege. Sit TF down.

DP: you, you, YOU, are pure racist trash. Sit TF down.

How exactly am I racist trash?

Your comments show the racist trash you are.

DP here. Why? Because Sicilian immigrants 100 years ago had such a great life?

My great grandfather came over from Italy in 1901 and was a manual laborer scraping by for the rest of his life. He had it rough too. But he traveled here of his own free will. And he was able to live with his family. His kids weren’t sold off like property. He didn’t lose his name, language, religion, or culture. His kids were able to go to school and get better jobs. Those kids moved around. None got lynched. There were no US policies limiting his options for housing & banking. So he had it tough, but it wasn’t really comparable.

That doesn’t change the fact that PP is racist and should sit TF down.

Sicilians were lynched too, genius. And if you want to pay up for slavery despite the facts that your relatives came here 50 years after slavery ended, then by all means, sell your house and your land and put the money in the coffer so that it can be paid to people were never slaves and whose great-great grandparents were probably not even slaves. Why don’t you also give up your lucrative high paying job to a black person to make up for the past sins of discrimination and oppression that you didn’t commit? If you want to throw your hard earned money away for something you didn’t do, then go right ahead. I refuse because it is stupid, unfair, probably unconstitutional, and ultimately won’t improve or change anything. And if having common sense, logic and reason now makes one “racist trash,” then this country has taken a real turn toward the radical and we are all in real trouble. Luckily, though, reparations will never happen.

Italy weeps for your ignorance, truly. Sacco was from Apuglia (not Sicily) and Vanzetti was from Northern Italy. My Sicilian and Calabrian relatives experienced a lot of discrimination in Italy and in the United States where they were not considered white enough. However, they always ended every conversation with, but nobody has been treated worse in this country than Native Americans. There was no Trail of Tears for Italians in this country. Italian bodies were not the “strange fruit hanging from Southern trees,” by and large. My Italian grandparents taught me empathy. Apparently yours failed you.

Italians were not only lynched, they were also put in internment camps. Where is our money? Where is the Native Americans money? Where is the Latinos’ money? Or the money for the Chinese whose ancestors were also interned? You better pay up because your great “empathy” isn’t getting anyone sh!t!

If people are going to insist on this absurdity 160 years after slavery was ended, then make just the former Confederate states pay. I am from a Northern State that gave more lives fighting for the Union than any other. The descendants of those people have paid enough.

Right, but people who are not suffering those problems today are asking for compensation for it anyway because they are suffering different problems or maybe are suffering very little at all.

Which is how we got a man who is worth $600 million asking for $350,000 in "reparations." For what? Because maybe if his father wasn't a sharecropper, he'd be worth $1 billion?

It’s not about any particular individual.

Black people were hurt and are still suffering today from the last 400 years of abuses from US policies.

Nope.

They are hurt and suffering from the last 50 years of Dems mismanaging every city where AAs live.

Amen. At some point, the black community has to realize that the people they have been supporting to help their community advance, has drastically let them down.

The Dems keep holding the entire community under the thumb of free hand outs. Can’t help them if the community won’t acknowledge that fact.

What are the GOP cities that are helping to build wealth in the black communities?

What successful programs have the GOP implemented to empower and rehabilitate those communities?

The GOP has done very little for the black community in impoverished/urban environments. Of course, the Dems haven’t either; and that’s who they voted for and financially supported for 50 years. And isn’t that the whole point... the black community getting left behind by systematic inequities?

I would say the people that the black community voted for and placed in office to look out for their best interests, failed them miserably. Or that community wouldn’t have fallen behind, right?

Not happening. Only radical nutso hacks like Sheila Jackson Lee, AOC and Ilhan Omar will find that it is politically advantageous to vote for such a measure.

Please prove examples of more than two Italians who were lynched. Italians were not actually put in internment camps in this country, Boris-bot. Neither were the Chinese. They were not systematically raped, had their children kidnapped and sold away from them, etc. Please get some perspective, Boris-bot.

Would it be fair to say that boy black families that dated back to this country pre WW2? Cause we are talking reparations for slavery; or do we want to expand to Jim Crow? Pre Civil Rights, so 1964?

I am asking to get a sense of scope.

Current leading thought on eligibility:

Having at least one ancestor who was enslaved in the United States, and having identified oneself as African-American on a legal document for 10 years before the approval of any reparations.

Using these guidelines roughly 30 million Americans would be eligible.

Please don’t.

PP should go start a new thread about oppression of Italians if he/she thinks that is an important cause to discuss. It is off-topic here.

All of that and more happened to Native Americans. Where's their money? A very wealthy black man calculated that each black person is owed $350,000. Don't ask how that was calculated, that's racist. I calculate that each Native American is owed $3 million.

I have not yet calculated our debt to Mexico for talking half their country, but I am sure it is quite substantial.

One Jew was lynched im Georgia in 1914 and thousands of Jews fled the state in fear. I calculate that each of their descendants is owed $35,000. Don't ask how I got that, that's racist.

LOL.

The US did pay some slaveowners $300 per slave as reparations.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/16/opinion/when-slaveowners-got-reparations.html

And the US paid pensions for confederate soldier dependents up until this year 2020.

Yes, the US as a whole has greatly failed black people - racist policies for hundreds of years have done great harm. That is exactly the whole point. It shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Here's 11 Italians who were lynched.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_14,_1891_New_Orleans_lynchings#:~:text=The%20March%2014%2C%201891%2C%20New,mass%20lynchings%20in%20American%20history.

I am not Italian. I am Jewish. For "perspective," my ancestors were lynched, raped, evicted from their homes dozens of times, had their children stolen, were forced to convert to Christianity, subject to multiple genocides, burned at the stake, tortured on racks, beaten for sport, prohibited from many professions and prohibited from buying land. In modern times, synagogues have been attacked and people are trying economically strangle the only Jewish country in the world. At some public events, it is prohibited to display Jewish symbols.

Much of this was started 2,000 years ago by Italians, and carried out ever since under the direction or influence of Italians. Should you pay me money? I hope you don't think so.
