So if a black person is a descendent of a slave and has not committed any crime then you would agree to pay that person reparations? |
The 1619 Project has shown us that this nation is racist to its very foundation. The United States started the importation of slaves from its very beginning. Who benefited? The slaves forcibly separated from their homes and families, or the white Americans who were trying to get rich off the backs of others?? I’m not even going to get into the racist societal structures that excluded People of Color from the start. So, we started way behind the curve in this country, we’ve been kept down for centuries. And you cite the cost of policing and prisons as some sort of favor? Payment for the structures of society that keep us down aren’t a gratuity for hundreds of years of oppression and suffering. Reparations, on the other hand, will show that the country has turned a page. |
^^^ Nobody is going to give you a dime. Even if they did, nothing would change and you would still have a million excuses. Maybe you could learn something from immigrants who came from far more challenging circumstances. |
Citations — or you just made those numbers up. While you’re at it, please explain how you could even come up with a cost for “police”. |
Or maybe we should spend the money to deport racist twots like this^^ |
Oh no. Buyer’s remorse? Next time don’t buy people or oppress them without considering ALL of the costs that you’ll incur. |
You are not a commodity. You are a human being . Enjoy your days. |
Also, enjoy the cash reparations we will receive next year! |
Nope. I'm as liberal as you can find. Affirmative Action only. And generous. But I'm not giving anybody cash. |
You won’t be writing a personal check. The Federal government will send checks, or direct deposits, like they do for tax refunds |
And, just curious, where do you think the money comes from? Reminds me of the young man who overdrew at the bank, he argued with the teller--"but, there are still checks in my checkbook!" |
What about bringing back quotas instead? And I mean everywhere—government, law forms, schools, NGOs, and do on? |
If you think you are getting money next year, you will be very disappointed. |
Why? Is PP a 200-year old antebellum plantation owner? |
yes I understand. Nevertheless, no cash payments. Education, daycare, help with housing down payments, etc. not cash. |
